Build the House
We’re seeking to raise $150,000 to purchase a mid-week ministry centre. Together, we can lay a foundation to impact future generations.
Gospel Communities
Gospel Communities are the heartbeat of our church. We gather in homes across Sydney to enjoy a meal, share stories, and build a family. We laugh, cry, and pray with one another, and learn to love and live like Jesus as we apply the Bible to everyday life.
We currently have 10 Gospel Communities scattered across the city.
