What is the Aboriginal Evangelical Fellowship?
The AEF is a group that supports Indigenous Australians who follow the Christian faith. It helps them grow in their beliefs and connect with each other. The organisation was created to serve and empower Aboriginal communities.
How AEF Supports Communities
The AEF has many churches in different parts of Australia. These churches are places where people can gather for worship and community events. They offer support and guidance to their members.
Bible Colleges and Training
The AEF also runs two special schools called bible colleges. These colleges help train people who want to become leaders in their churches. They learn more about the Christian faith and how to serve their communities.
- One college is AEF Bimbadeen College. It is located in Cootamundra, New South Wales. This college is on the site of the former Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls.
- The other college is the Aboriginal Evangelical Fellowship Bible College of WA. It is found in Forrestdale, Western Australia.
