CHURCH LIFE AT GBC
10AM SERVICE
This service is held in our ground floor room, which has access directly from the street, and includes singing, prayer, a Bible talk and monthly communion. It is an encouraging time together followed by morning tea. There is no dress code and no pressure to participate unless you choose to.
5.30PM CAFE CHURCH
This is an informal, discussion-based service, where people of all ages are welcome. Enjoy a relaxed style of worship where God’s Word is studied together. This service is held upstairs in the right wing of the auditorium and, yes, we do have an espresso machine.
YOUTH GROUP
Our youth group is for anyone in Years 7 to 12 inclusive. The group meets at 7pm on Fridays during the school term, where our youth learn about Jesus and hang out together, having fun and building supportive relationships with each other.
MISSIONS
We are actively involved in local and overseas missions. We prayerfully, financially and practically support a number of missionaries serving in/with missions in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. We also seek to reach our local communities through events, relationships and partnerships with local groups and other churches.

PASTORAL CARE
The focus of our church is people. This means caring for one another is at the heart of who we are. We have teams intentionally providing pastoral care, prayer and companionship, as well as a church pantry and bread run for people who may be doing it tough.
PRAYER
Prayer is central to who we are as a community of people following Jesus. If you have a prayer request, please email [email protected]. We would love to pray for you.
LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups are an important part of our church life. They are smaller groups of people who meet together for prayer, Bible study and encouragement. We have a variety of groups meeting at various times and places.
ART/CRAFT GROUPS
Our art and craft groups meet during term time and provide an intentional space for people to use and enjoy the God-given gift of creativity. The craft group meets from 10am to 1pm on Wednesdays, and the pastel group from 9.30am to midday on Thursdays during school terms.
