Ministry-Roland and Marlies Sernig
Roland and Marlies have enjoyed their walk with God for over 40 years, having been called by God in March 1975 whilst living in Canberra. They were baptised in April 1977.
They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren. In 1997 Roland was ordained. He is also a qualified Christian Counsellor and Justice of the Peace (Qualified).
In 2011 they made the decision to move to Kooralbyn, where in 2013, they retired from the workforce. During the 2 years before retirement, God put onto their hearts to establish a place of Worship in Kooralbyn. After much prayer, the door was opened in March 2014 to establish the Kooralbyn Community Church (KCC).
KCC was established as a non-denominational Church which is founded upon the teachings of Jesus and not on any personal doctrinal issues. All who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, is our Redeemer and Saviour and that Salvation is through Him alone, is welcome to join us in Worship.
Roland and Marlies' passion is to share the knowledge of Jesus - who
He is and what He has done for us - with all those who have a heart to listen.
"...I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing..." (John 15:5 NIV).
