We invite you to join us at our Cessnock Campus, led by team leaders Aldrich and Shayne Obach. Our Hunter Valley community is made up of people from all walks and stages of life, united by a love for God and a love for people.

Wednesdays

We meet on Wednesdays fortnightly for dinner at 5pm, and a service from 5.30pm-6.30pm

We offer a Kid’s Program for children Kindergarten to Grade 6, and youth Program for High School Yr7 – Yr 12.

Giving

WHY GIVE?

Generosity is a natural response when we encounter the generosity that God has lavished on us. Generous giving blesses others, it is also an act of obedience and trust – in doing it we are saying that it is God, not ourselves or anyone else, who ultimately provides for our needs.

‘Let each one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves a giver whose heart is in his giving.’ 2 Corinthians 9:7

HOW WILL MY GIFT BE USED?

Everything we do together as a church is only possible because of your giving. With your support, we can run our weekly gatherings, offer practical help to people, evangelism through Alpha, friendship and discipleship through our communities, and we can run ministries across all our sites including programmes for Youth, Kids, Young Adults, Men, Women, over 55s, and young parents.

GIVE ONLINE

This is a simple and easy way to give. You can give a one time gift or set up regular giving!
