I'm new here - NewLife Anglican

Welcome to NewLife Oran Park – 8:45am, 10:30am and 6pm!

We meet each Sunday at 8:45am, 10:30am, and 6pm at our building Cnr Marcus Loane Way and Central Avenue (click here to find us on a map).

If you arrive early you’ll see our welcomers in the foyer and can sign in any kids who are with you there too. We start promptly at 8:45am & 10:30am with kids and parents all in together. Our time together will include some contemporary Christian songs before the children are invited to leave and go to their programme. After the adults bid farewell to the kids they go next door to an adjacent classroom to spend time in fun, games, and song learning about Jesus with a trained teacher and parent supervisors.

We have kids in that group from ages 18 months to 10 years. If you have kids older or younger than that we’d love to chat about how to best meet their needs.

Once the kids have left us we’ll spend our time being led in prayer before the bible is read and explained. The bible talk is central to our meeting and we hope that you’ll find as it’s carefully unpacked and applied that the messages are challenging and helpful in living what Jesus calls new life. This time is closed in prayer committing the things we learned to God and we invite you to continue meeting together over morning tea.

Our two morning services share a morning tea between them so if you’re coming at 8:45am stay for a cuppa – and if you’re coming for 10:30am we advise you turn up early and enjoy the fellowship before the service starts.

I hope you find that the questions below put you at ease on what to expect and I look forward to meeting you in person very soon.

Stuart.

What should I expect?

I guess there are two answers to this question. If you’ve never been to a church before, you’ll probably find what we do friendly but a little different from your local soccer club. We’re confident you’ll find us welcoming and you’ll pick it up as you go. When you come along you won’t be asked to pray or read the bible and you can choose to participate in the questions and answers at whatever level you’d like.

If you’re already a follower of Jesus you’ll find us relaxed and relatively informal. We’re serious about serving Jesus, what we teach, and focused on seeing hope, community and a fresh start with God for every home in Oran Park. As we’re just starting out we’ll begin the journey of working out if this can be your home by spending a Sunday together and follow that up with a visit to let you know more of what we do and so you can ask us your questions.

What should I bring?

There’s nothing that you’ll need to bring other than a readiness to engage and meet some friendly new people. We’ll provide bibles, morning tea, and a great community of people eager to follow Jesus and help you on in the journey to do the same.

Will I be asked for money?

No. The work we do is funded by those who’ve chosen to call NewLife Anglican Church their home. If you’re a visitor we’d love you to feel free to meet our community without any expectation that we need your money.

How should I dress?

We’d love you to feel comfortable and relaxed – that’s how we’ll be – so dress in a way that helps you feel that way. In winter you’ll probably find us in jeans and shirts and jumpers. In summer dresses, t-shirts and shorts won’t be out of the ordinary. Come comfortable but don’t feel you need to be dressy to fit in.

How do I get in touch if I have more questions?

We’d love to help you find a place with us and you can drop us an email by clicking our “Contact us” link at the top, or fill in the form at the bottom of this page.
