Aims Of Southern Cross Ski Chalet
(based on Clause 3A of the Company's Memorandum of Association)

• To encourage the enjoyment of God's good things through activities that the high country affords, such as bushwalking and cycling, along with the challenges of skiing & snowboarding.
• To provide a venue & social environment within which we can experience a happy, caring relationship with others within the Lodge, & where the Holy Spirit may use us to be a blessing to one another.
• To provide stimulus & encouragement for personal growth in Christian discipleship, by encouraging groups to use a clear Bible-based, systematic teaching program with appropriate discussion.
• To provide facilities & produce an atmosphere, in which people may hear the gospel & be challenged to receive Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviour & Lord.
• To encourage all involved with the Lodge to maintain a positive Christian lifestyle on the snow fields, so that others may be attracted to Christ.
