Who we are and what we do
Each year we invite you to experience the Christmas Story with us, as we bring a gift of hope, life and meaning to the people of Townsville.
Become a regular giver
Did you know – it costs about $300,000 a year to run Stable? It costs us $6,000 in shed rental, insurance, wages and incidentals every month of the year!!!. Please help us by becoming a regular giver so we have an income all year round. Currently, we have about 6 people making a regular contribution to Stable (about $1,200 a month). Could we get 20 contributing (about $3,000 a month) during the month of March?

We are thrilled to each year bring to Townsville - The Stable.
Come and join us at Stable at Riverway from the 18th -22nd December, as we immerse ourselves in the story of Christmas with live actors, realistic scenes, costumes, animals and activities for the whole family to enjoy.
There will also be heaps of entertainment, a wide selection of food, Christmas markets, a yarning circle, free tea and coffee and Christmas cake, a designated youth area, Children’s craft and so much more. Children can pat the animals, dress up as soldiers, dance with the angels, bake bread, go fishing, hammer in nails, watch the puppet show, hassle the marketeers, clean the inn, and discover baby Jesus.
This is a great event for the whole family to come to this Christmas.
