You are welcome here!
No matter who you are or where you come from you are welcome here! You matter to God and you matter to us.
We are a community of real people who don’t always have it all together, but who believe there is a God who points the way to an authentic, full, and abundant life. We are a church for anyone who wants to take a step forward in the adventure of faith, whether you are not yet sure if God exists or have been following Jesus for a lifetime.
So, if you’re new to church, looking for a church home, or want to know more about returning to faith in Jesus, we’re here for you.
Join us for any of our Sunday services at 9AM, 11AM, or 6PM each week.
You can find us at 410 York Street, Ballarat East, or join us for church online!
