Our church family comes from all walks and stages of life and many cultural backgrounds.
We also welcome Defence families and foreign diplomats on posting to Canberra. You are part of the family, even if only here a few years. We are near the Canberra Hospital, so medical staff who work shifts and are with us when they can be.
When you arrive, someone will welcome you.
You can sit anywhere you feel comfortable – in the main room, in the foyer. There's no reserved chairs.
Come as you are! Some are comfortable in ‘Sunday best’, some prefer casual. We’d rather you came than worry about what to wear. One thing though, in Winter, dress warm. The church is heated, but Canberra morning temperatures are an experience!
Children are part of our family too.
On Sunday morning, there’s a creche for littlies, plus there is comfortable seating in the foyer from where you can enjoy the service if children need to let off steam.
Children and youth also go out to Lighthouse Kids (age 3 to school year 6) and HBC Junior Youth (school years 7-9) halfway through the service.
