Steve & Ainsley Apirana are Singer/Songwriters based in the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Steve’s music career began in the band Butler who shared the stage with bands like Black Sabbath back in the seventies. It was during his days in Butler that he found faith in Jesus and began his career as a soloist. Nowadays he shares the stage with his wife Ainsley, who writes her own songs, has recorded two albums and plays rhythm guitar, whistles and flutes. Together they aim to encourage, uplift and inspire audiences through their stories and songs through their personal experience of 40 odd years of marriage, of life on the road, and of life as a Christian. Steve and Ainsley play anywhere they are invited and are used to a wide variety of audiences from school classes to prisons to the various denominations of churches, to festivals, house concerts, cafes and pubs. Listen in to their story! Admission by koha.

In December 1872 a group of believers met together for the first time as the Greendale Baptist Church. On the weekend of Saturday 3rd December and Sunday 4th December, we thank God for 150 years of continuous witness and fellowship. We would love you to join us.

Some of us have grown up in the church, others have arrived from elsewhere and settled, some have rested for a time in the fellowship and moved on. All are part of the Greendale/Malvern/Darfield Baptist family. We have worshipped to gether, debated together, cried together, laughed together. Some of us have fallen in love! God has met us as we have gathered over the years. It's time to celebrate.
