Sunday gatherings

Where we meet

We meet most Sundays at Gold Park Sporting Club (341 Hume St, Centenary Heights). When you arrive, look for the big green flags and ‘church parking’ sign. The sports club is at the end of the car park, you won’t miss us!

Where to park

There is a large dedicated car park off Hume Street. Look for the big green flags and the ‘Church Parking’ sign. There is additional parking behind the venue if you take Gold Street. If there’s a footy match on, just mention you’re there for church and you won’t need to pay entry.

What to expect

Our service begins at 9:30am with tea, coffee, and chats. After a few minutes we’ll begin a time of worship (singing, mostly), then have announcements, and a message from the bible. We always leave space afterwards to pray for one another. Services usually wrap up around 11:00am, but we’d encourage you to stick around, enjoy the sunshine, and get to know the community.

Coming with kids?

Good, we love kids! There’s a playground onsite that they are welcome to use before and after the service (parents must supervise!). We also run a simple, play-based kids programme for kids aged 1 and up during the service. Please bring a hat and water bottle as we love to play outside!

Other good-to-knows:

• What to wear: We’re pretty informal so whatever’s comfortable! You don’t need to don your Sunday best.
• Giving: You can give if you want to, but you won’t be pressured.
• Introverts: You are in good company! You won’t be asked to stand up and introduce yourself, or get singled out during the service.
• Privacy: There’s no expectation to share your contact details unless you’d like to get our almost-weekly emails, or if you bring kids. For kids church, you will need to provide contact information but we won’t contact you outside church without your permission (unless legally obligated).
• Safe ministry: We take safe ministry seriously and actively promote a healthy church culture. Find out more about our commitment and policies here.
• Our beliefs and doctrines: We don’t have a published statement of faith but you can get a pretty good idea by reading about our vision, mission, and values. We are part of the Vineyard family of churches.
