Mareeba
Mareeba is one of the standout towns of the Tablelands—growing, hardworking, multicultural, and full of people who carry a deep pride for their region. Only a short drive inland from Cairns, it’s close enough to stay connected yet far enough to have its own strong identity. With agriculture, small business, tourism, and family life shaping the heartbeat of the town, Mareeba is a place where people value community, resilience, and practical faith. And like every community in our region, it’s a place where the hope of Jesus can make a real difference.
At Freedom Church Cairns, we believe Mareeba matters. It’s not just another town on the map—it’s a community with incredible potential and people who deserve support, encouragement, and the life-changing message of the gospel. Many locals face the pressures of regional living, financial challenges, and the fast-changing landscape of modern life. Others simply long for more connection, purpose, and spiritual grounding. We see that, and we want to respond with compassion, consistency, and genuine care.
Our heart is to build strong relationships in Mareeba, be present in the lives of people, and serve in ways that bring real value. Whether someone is a long-term resident, part of a farming family, a young worker, or someone new to the area, we want them to know they’re not alone. We believe God is stirring something fresh across the Tablelands, and Mareeba is right in the centre of that opportunity.
We’re praying for open doors to support families, reach young people, encourage believers, and help strengthen the spiritual foundations of the town. Our desire is to raise leaders who can shine the light of Christ in Mareeba’s workplaces, schools, homes, and neighbourhoods. Cairns and Mareeba may operate at different paces, but spiritually, we’re united in the same mission—to see lives transformed and communities renewed through Jesus.
If Mareeba is your home, or if you carry a burden for that community, we’d love to connect and walk with you as we serve this region together.
