Cost of Living

The rising cost of living is hitting families, single parents, young adults, and seniors harder than ever. Groceries, fuel, rent, power bills, and everyday essentials keep climbing, and many people feel like they’re drowning under the pressure. At Freedom Church Cairns, we understand the strain this creates, and we believe the church should be a place of real help, real hope, and real compassion—especially in seasons like this.

Financial pressure can weigh heavily on the mind and spirit. It brings stress, anxiety, tension in relationships, and a sense of hopelessness when ends simply don’t meet. But God cares deeply about your situation. He sees every need, every worry, and every silent prayer. We believe He provides, and we believe the church is called to stand with people—not judge them, not lecture them, but support them.

Freedom Church Cairns is here to help those feeling the squeeze. Our pastoral team offers prayer, guidance, and practical support for anyone navigating financial hardship. We can walk with you through budgeting basics, point you toward local community resources, and help you find pathways that bring relief and direction. When appropriate, we also partner with local organisations able to assist with food relief, emergency support, and additional services.

We want you to know this: you’re not a burden, and you're not alone. Countless people are walking through similar challenges, and many have seen God provide in ways they never expected. Hope is real, and breakthrough is possible.

If you or someone you know is struggling with the rising cost of living, reach out to Freedom Church Cairns. Call 07 4031 4130 for confidential support, prayer, or guidance.

God cares about your needs, and He hasn’t forgotten you. No matter how tight things feel, there is a path forward, and there is a community ready to stand beside you every step of the way.
