Queensland Baptists Christian Education Services (QBCES)

Who are we?

Queensland Baptists Christian Education Services (QBCES) is a charter group established by the board of Queensland Baptists (QB) in 2022 to assist the board in supporting QB controlled educational enterprises (schools and early learning centres).

QBCES works alongside QB schools, early learning centres, churches and the wider QB network to effectively mission via Christian education. QBCES believes that effective governance, supported leaders and strong connections between stakeholders are necessary to enable educational enterprises to flourish and be a blessing to the communities that they serve.

What we do?

QBCES supports Queensland Baptist educational enterprises by:

Providing advice and support for directors and boards.
Consulting on governance and management matters as requested by directors, boards, or education leaders (principals, heads of school etc.).
Assisting with the development and maintenance of a Christian priority.
Facilitating collaboration between educational enterprises and within the QB movement.

QBCES supports Queensland Baptists by:

Advising the QB board on suitable candidates for appointment as directors of Boards.
Networking with Baptist educational enterprises who are not members of QBCES.
Assisting with the establishment of new schools.

Who are our member schools?

Our member schools and early learning centres are separately incorporated entities with their own Board of Directors. These educational enterprises are members of QBCES and QB is the sole-member of these educational enterprises.

QBCES welcomes education groups controlled by a QB member church (or others as approved by the QB Board) to become associate members of our charter group.

Vision statement:

Our vision is that Queensland Baptist’s educational enterprises are flourishing centres of Christian education, care, and witness, where God’s Kingdom grows and lives are changed for the better.

Mission statement:

Our mission is to work with the QB Board and QB education enterprises to deliver Christian education, promote good governance, and grow connections between stakeholders.
