Next Phase Ministries aims to:

• encourage parishes to become aware of the possibilities in working with the ageing and involving the ageing in ministry;
• provide a forum for existing parish groups working with the ageing to meet and provide support and encouragement for each other;
• provide resource ideas for the leaders of parish groups working with the ageing.

Next Phase Ministries primary work involves training people in ministry to people over 50 across the Sydney Diocese. In 2011 there will be several events to encourage evangelism, discipleship, and life skills amongst the soon to be retired, the retired, the aged and the frail aged.

Next Phase Ministries (previously known as The Committee of To and By the Aging (TABA)) was formed in April 1992 to promote ministry to older people. It was instigated by the late Deaconess Mary Andrews AM, following a Report from the Sydney Anglican Synod in 1989.
