Whether you're based in Canberra, are in town for a visit or just looking around, we warmly invite you to the church of Christ that meets in Canberra! We'd love to get to know you.
Even by Australian standards, we’re pretty easy-going with dress code. You don’t have to buy a suit or wear a Sunday dress, although you’re most welcome to if that’s what you’d prefer to wear. You’ll find quite a wide spectrum of dress codes when you visit us, so we’re sure you’ll feel comfortable with whatever you choose to wear.
We’ll talk to you. We’ll hopefully not swarm you, but you’ll definitely be welcomed warmly.
We like to end on time too, so arriving a little early (just in case) is probably a wise idea. However, if you’re running late, simply step in, have a seat and jump straight in. We welcome anyone, anytime they can make it – even if this means coming in halfway through or towards the end of the service. We usually leave empty seats at the back, so no one feels funny walking to the front in the middle of a session.
Nothing like the unmatched timbre of the singing voice. We aim to sing to God and to one another as best as we can. Songs are easy to follow as the lyrics are projected on screen and guided by a song leader. Songbooks are also available. Please don’t feel you have to sing along if you’re not comfortable doing so. Feel free to just read the words!
You might have heard of Communion or the Lord’s Supper. That’s when Christians break a piece of bread that has no yeast, and drink a portion of grape juice to remember a perfect man, sent from a perfect God, who was made a scapegoat for all the wrongdoing we’ve ever done and will do in future.
It’s an awe-inspiring moment that we welcome you to share with us. As the trays of bread and grape juice are passed around, simply pass them down to the next person. Please don’t feel obliged to join in; you’re welcome to observe quietly.
Actually, we take up two collections; one for the work of the church, and another for the poor. Please do not feel obligated in any way to contribute to either collection. Giving is not required of anyone. If you feel you want to contribute, feel free to do so. Rest assured that we never pry and we don’t keep tabs on who’s giving and who isn’t.
