UPDATE - July 2021…

The current lockdown rules are even tighter than at the height of the pandemic last year, even on a live stream.

Here's the plan... We are continuing our fortnightly pattern of “All-ins” and Hubs. All-in Sunday gatherings will be via live broadcast from 3:30pm on our Facebook Page. On the alternate fortnights, our Hubs will meet via Zoom. Stay tuned to your Hub facilitators for your Zoom links. If you’re not in a Hub and would like to be, contact us.

Check our Calendar Page to know which week is which.

We're hoping this situation is short-lived, but we will have to play it week to week. Stay tuned to this page for updates.

Our gatherings are a little different during COVID-19…

 COVID-19 has brought significant challenges to how we gather corporately. In 2021 we have a plan, AND we’ll have to be really flexible. We have a clear plan to be COVID-safe, and we will need everyone to “check-in” just like you do everywhere else.

Here’s what’s happening between May and July 2021…

  • Fortnightly corporate gatherings - Sunday 4pm at Ironbark Ridge Public School Hall - 1 Ironbark Ridge Rd, Rouse Hill (see map below) OR at Salvation Army Rouse Hill - 6a Edwards Rd, Nelson. See our ONLINE CALENDAR to know where we are each time and keep an eye on our social media pages. There is ample off-street parking on Ironbark Ridge Rd and side streets when we are at IRPS, and Rouse Hill Salvos has its own onsite carpark. We plan to livestream these gatherings too.

  • On the alternate fortnights (and in school holidays) we meet in Hubs in people’s homes at either 3:30pm or 4pm depending on the Hub. Numbers are limited and subject to change with COVID restrictions. We also have a Hub that runs on Zoom for those who are remote or who are more at risk from COVID. If you’re not in a Hub and want to be, send us a message and we’ll get you connected.

About our gatherings…

Our corporate gatherings are relaxed, relational, and informal, yet highly intentional. We are passionate in our expression of our love of God, hungry to experience deeper levels of His love and power, and we love to learn and grow together.

All Kingdom matters are matters of the heart. Music is a crucial part of our gatherings because music is a language of the heart. We don’t apologise for spending a lot of time immersed in the experience of worship through music.

One of God’s primary attributes is Creator, therefore an obvious outflow of His presence is creativity. We’re young in this journey, but we’re committed to not doing “same old same old”. Creativity demands the freedom to fail. Without that we have no freedom to fly. We experiment a lot! Sometimes it goes great. Sometimes it doesn’t. But, we will never stop the adventure of exploring who God is, who we are, and how we express Him in us.

 
We’re not called to bring “church” to earth. We’re called to bring Heaven to earth
