TOOWOOMBA THE FAMILY CITY
Toowoomba is a great place for families. As a city it is known as much for its emphasis on family values as it is for its amazing parks and gardens.
Of equal note are the city’s churches - many of whom have stepped outside traditional denominational boundaries to actively work together with other churches in the city. Up to 50 Christian ministers and leaders from all denominational backgrounds meet weekly to build relationships and pray together.
Easterfest CEO, Isaac Moody said “it is the unique combination of Church unity and family values that forms the backbone of the festival’s success”.
