Our Board

Our management Board consists of seven members, all of whom are members of the Tamworth Baptist Church.

They are appointed by the church and work on a voluntary basis, with responsibility for the overall management and direction of the Centre.

Board Statement

Janelle Street Centre is a ministry of the Tamworth Baptist church and as such, the Board acknowledges that Jesus Christ is present in every area of the Centre’s activities – He is integral to everything we do.

Our desire is that all children will be accepted into the Centre in an environment that is loving, caring, secure, fun and happy, and that meaningful relationships will be developed between children, families, staff, management and the community. We will continue to support the staff in the development of values of love, happiness, sharing, and gentleness as children are entrusted to our care.

Our overall focus will be on ensuring that the children, parents and carers are introduced to a loving and caring God and will provide links between the families and the Christian church so that the Christian gospel is heard and understood.
