The next Pinjarra Family Bible School will be held, God willing, from Thursday 28 March to Monday 1 April 2024.
Brother James McCann from the Riverwood Ecclesia in New South Wales will lead us through a series of 6 studies which will be a look at the theme of our heart running through the life of David. We will look at David's life and the psalms written at those times. Each session is a psalm David wrote based on the timeline of his life and the history found in Samuel. |

This Bible School is organised by the Christadelphians in Perth, Western Australia and is sponsored by the Perth Central Christadelphian Ecclesia Inc. The Bible School is held over the Easter weekend at Fairbridge Village, a beautiful historical site surrounded by farm lands and bush.
Accommodation is in heritage listed cottages varying in size to cater for all, in both small and large groups. The cottages are all self contained, some meals are prepared and enjoyed within your house group, other meals are enjoyed together with everyone. It is a wonderful opportunity for children to enjoy the freedom to roam safely, so rarely found nowadays.
The Bible School is arranged with the objective of providing brethren, sisters and their children with the opportunity of spending the Easter weekend in the company of those like precious faith for bible study, fellowship, reflection and recreation. Primary attention is given throughout the weekends to the Word of God and it is hoped that our commitment to living the truth and the Bible Scholl will provide a positive contribution to the needs of the brotherhood for the future.

LAST YEAR: The Epistle of James, the Faith that Works.
Studies are available on YouTube - @pinjarrabibleschool
2023 marked the 30th year that the Pinjarra Bible School has been held at Fairbridge Village and we were delighted to welcome a number of interstate and overseas visitors amongst the 220 people who attended and enjoyed the camp this year. Brother James Jolly from the Tea Tree Gully Ecclesia in South Australia shared studies with us around the epistle of James: The Faith that Works. We had a full and vibrant young people’s house and several Sunday School classes which covered a variety of topics, beginning with lessons from the senses for the pre-schoolers, the parables of Christ, thoughts from James, through to the fugitive years of David for the teenagers.
Some of the highlights of the camp included an animal touch farm accompanying brother Chris Carmody’s talk on animals of the Bible, an energetic games night and an immersive night on Israel and when it became a nation. Opportunities to fellowship with each other were valued, whether that was enjoying the Sunday afternoon café, experimenting with speed painting or being active mountain biking and abseiling.
Brother James asked us the challenging question; “Do you have the faith that works?” He encouraged us to not be afraid of the exercising of our faith as it builds up patience - we need to be tested! We left the camp resolving for God’s word to make us different in what we do, to have that faith that works - as the evidence is in the doing. The evidence needs to be seen in people who aspire to be champions of tongue control, who don’t show favouritism, who have the wisdom of humility, willingness to confess fault and easy to be intreated, making peace within their ecclesias.
We resolved to personally look in the mirror and decide to change, to not stay being the same person we were before the camp. To trim down our aims in life to the single aim, to be like our single-minded God, who is without shadow of turning. We prayed that our Lord would find that faith on the earth, in our families, in our ecclesias – that faith that works.
