Plan a visit
Whether you have grown up in a church or haven't ever checked one out, we understand that just turning up one day might be daunting.
We hope this page might help a little, and we're happy to chat more beforehand if you can send us a message or email.
We're a multicultural community including a significant ministry amongst Chinese-speaking people. See below for more info on each of our services and kids programs.
Sundays 9:30am
We have two services each Sunday at 180 Maitland Rd, Islington. One service is in English and the second in Chinese - Mandarin and Cantonese.
There's ample parking, welcoming people, air-conditioned facilities and great coffee at morning tea afterwards!
9:30am English Service
Our time together begins with a welcome from the front & singing together (or listening if you'd rather not sing). After that we normally have a special family spot teaching the kids before they head out for kids programs. Then someone will pray from the front, we'll read the Bible and hear a 25-30min message explaining the Bible and helping us to think about its meaning today. We normally finish with a song and a collection is taken for our regulars who financially support the ministry of the church.
What to expect
A place to park.A friendly hello and welcome at the door.
A relaxed service including music, a children's talk, bible reading, prayers and bible teaching (sermon).
