Who We Are

Jericho Road is the mercy ministry arm of the Presbyterian Church in NSW and the ACT.

It’s our great story of how we can work together to show that we, like the Samaritan, are ready to be the people who love our neighbours.

Our Mission

Work with and for PCNSW to demonstrate the character of God by providing fresh hope and care for those who are in need, in a way that seeks justice, shows mercy, and makes Jesus known.
