9am Sunday Service
This is a family-oriented service that enjoys a mix of all age groups, and includes worship with hymns, accompanied by gifted organists playing the oldest pipe organ in Newcastle.
10.45am Sunday Service
This service combines the Eucharistic traditions of the church with a modern liturgy and contemporary music. It aims to balance heart, mind and spirit with energising worship, sound biblical teaching and spiritual renewal. A foundational teaching and activities program is offered for children.
5pm Sunday night Service
This is a more casual worship service which has a strong emphasis on biblical teaching and contemporary music. Those who are looking for solid spiritual food to sustain them during a hectic week often come on Sunday nights. Kids’ Church on Sunday night is especially popular, engaging the children with Bible teaching and games.
10.30am Thursday Eucharist
This service provides respite in the midst of the craziness of life. An informal Eucharistic service in the chapel provides an opportunity to punctuate our week with prayer, Word and Sacrament. This community provides an oasis in the week and is an opportunity for those who cannot come to Sunday Services.
