Lifepoint Church is supporting vulnerable families in the Moreton Bay region with assistance from Carinity.
Funding from Carinity's Collaborative Community Projects funding has enabled the Rothwell-based church to enact a mentoring project called COACH (Creating Opportunities and Casting Hope).
Lifepoint Church Senior Pastor, Dan Sweetman, said the program aims to empower struggling families by fostering resilience and "helping them set and achieve meaningful goals and navigate life's ups and downs".
He added that partnering with Carinity would help the church to "create something truly transformational" and "bring gospel hope and practical help to our community".
"This initiative is about providing practical support and encouragement to individuals and families in our community who are facing disadvantage and challenges," Dan said.
"What makes this program so special is its focus on building real, supportive relationships. It's not just about short-term help but empowering people for long-term change.
"Whether it's encouraging parents, equipping young people, or supporting those ready to take positive steps forward, this program is a tangible way for us to share God's love and make a real difference in our region."
Two churches in the Fraser Coast region Hervey Bay Baptist Church and Maryborough Baptist Church will also use their Collaborative Community Projects funding to expand their COACH mentoring programs.
They are amongst eight Baptist churches around Queensland awarded grants collectively totalling almost $220,000 through the Collaborative Community Projects.
Central to each project is a commitment to help relieve or mitigate disadvantage, promote connectivity for vulnerable people, or increase the strength of local neighbourhoods.
The other grant recipients are Baptist churches located in Townsville, Logan, Ipswich, and the Sunshine Coast.
