Honour God. Equip Saints. Disciple Nations
We Love Sundays!
While we connect in different ways throughout the week, Sunday is our big family reunion! It’s when all of us—from every age and walk of life—come together with one shared purpose: to worship Jesus.
Sunday Service Location
Come and join us! We meet every Sunday morning at 10am in the Bethany Performing Arts Centre. 37 Countess Street, Paralowie SA
Fresh Youth Service
Fresh Youth is our weekly gathering for students from Year 6 to Year 12.
It's an amazing chance to hang out with friends, have loads of fun, and experience God together.
Fresh Youth runs Friday Nights 6.30 - 8.30pm during the school term.
What to expect
We would love to welcome you to our Sunday service, starting at 10 am! You’ll find a warm and friendly community here, with people from all over the world and all ages represented.
Our services feature a mix of fast and slow worship songs, a time for communion, and a Bible-based message from one of our pastors.
Children aged 4 - 11 years old leave the main service after communion and head to their own program. BC Kids features games, craft and learning God's Word together. One of our volunteers will be ready to meet you in the foyer with more information.
We hope you'll grab a coffee and stay to chat with us afterward—we'd love to get to know you!

Followers of Jesus follow Jesus

The Great Commission
Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. - Matthew 28.18-20
As a church, our obedience to the Great Commission looks like this:

What We Believe
As we follow Jesus our lives are shaped by who He is and what His word teaches us.
There is one eternally existing God who has three distinct persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is the creator of all that exists, both visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy of all glory and praise.
God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom, justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God.
The Bible is Divine inspiration, it is Holy Scripture and God's Word to humanity.
Humans, both male and female, were created in God's image for His glory. The first humans, Adam and Eve, were created without sin and appointed as caretakers of the rest of God's creations
We believe that the covenant of marriage is the union of a man and a woman who have voluntarily entered into a loving, committed, and exclusive relationship for as long as both live..
When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.
Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.
The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations.
Jesus is the Head of the Church.
His leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, for the unity, maturity, and growth of the Church.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the building up of the Church and for ministry to the world.
Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
Believers are justified and sanctified through the finished work of Christ. Their security is in Him, as is their future resurrection in an incorruptible body.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is for believers and empowers the Church for its mission in the world.
The Sacrament of Baptism by immersion for the believer
The Sacrament of Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper. Practiced weekly on Sunday mornings and regularly in Connect. Groups.
The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship of all that God has given, including the practice of tithing to the local church.
Blessed To Be A Blessing
