Welcome

Hi and welcome! Our services are open to all. We would love to see you soon!
Please follow us on Facebook
We are a community seeking to follow the two commands passed on to us by Jesus – to love God and to love other people. Sounds simple, yet it is what motivates us to be who we are and do what we do.
It’s grounded in the story of God in the Bible, from creation through to a new creation. It’s a big story, ultimately a beautiful story, and it invites us in, that it may be our story, too.
We welcome being part of the Parkdale neighbourhood and seek to be a blessing to it.
We’re seeking to grow in the way of Jesus the Lord. It’s a process. involving four interweaving aspects:
- CORE – getting familiar with our biblical story and our place in it
- COMMUNITY – beginning to experience and understand common life as one people
- CHARACTER – building a lifestyle that honours God and shows resilience under pressure
- CONTRIBUTE – discover how our life, in every aspect, can contribute to others with our own unique gifts and calling. Text Phil on 0431 236 500 if you’re curious to know more…
We also have groups that meet through the week for learning, prayer, and mutual support, and a monthly craft and creative writing groups.
Plus we are working with Parkdale pantry as they use our facilities to recycle food for people in our broader community, and offer regular markets.
Our focus: tapping into a number of the priorities of our namesake, Aidan, we seek to be
- a house of prayer
- a place of hospitality and help
- a centre of creativity and learning
And we welcome fellow travellers with us. Come along and take a look.
Sundays @ 10.00am (each week) & 5.30pm (fortnightly – Alpha)![]()
are our regular gathering for worship times. No experience necessary to come and join us. We read from the Bible, think about what it is saying, and celebrate the bread and wine of Christ’s sacrifice for us. And we’re pet friendly, for friendly pets.
