On Sunday 18 October, we’re getting together for lunch in smaller groups, with some people hosting and others joining as guests. It’s a simple opportunity to eat, chat, laugh and build relationships beyond our regular Sunday gatherings. Whether you’re happy to open your home or would rather turn up as a guest, we’d love you to be part of it.
If you’re part of our Garden Suburb 8:30 or 10:30 congregations, we’d love you to jump in!
Sign up below to join us.
しかし、聖霊があなたがたに下る時、あなたがたは大きな力を受け、エルサレムからユダヤ全土、そしてサマリヤから地の果てまで、わたしの死と復活を伝える証人となります。
Join us as we celebrate what God has done through Dene and Rachel Hughes and their 15 years of faithful service in Japan.
As they visit us for their final home assignment, we’ll hear stories from their ministry, celebrate what God has done through their partnership with us, and look ahead to what’s next.

God has been so generous in the way he has grown our church. After decades of being nomads, we now have some amazing venues to gather in and use for Jesus! Hundreds of people have joined us as they’ve moved here, and hundreds more have decided to follow Jesus with us for the very first time.
God is amazing. And we want to celebrate as a whole church what he is doing and remind ourselves of who we are and what our mission is. All In Sunday is going to be just that - Six congregations together for one BIG Sunday service - All in. All One.
Greg will be opening the bible with us; we’ll hear a bunch of encouraging stories from around our church family. Not to mention the spine-tingling thought of 1,400 voices singing joyfully as one to our God.
There’s going to be lots of fun on the day. Time to hang out and chat, great snacks, coffee, BYO picnic lunch, and if you thought the 2026 FIFA World Cup was huge, just wait ‘til the 2026 All In Church Cup - congregation vs congregation to find the soccer champions of Hunter Bible Church.

The Sweatman Cup is an inter-campus futsal comp after the service on All In Sunday. Last year, rain was the victor; this year, well, we’ll see…
4 Teams:
- Garden Suburb Mornings - Blue
- Garden Suburb Arvos - Red
- City - White
- Unichurch - Black
How it’ll work:
- Knockout: two semis and a final
- 3 matches, 7-minute halves
- 6-a-side, at least one man and one woman on the field at all times
- 16 years and up
- Runners only, no studs
- Look out for the recruiting drive in your congregation’s Facebook Community Group.
No! It will be like any other Sunday - just All In.
There is plenty of car parking on site. Enough to fit us All In, and it’s FREE on Sundays. Map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iwJA15c5LsPM8Bz49
We’ll have car park attendants directing you where to go.
There will be a kids program running during the All In session (10:15-11-40am) for kids aged 2-5 (pre-school). School-aged kids and youth will be All In with us.
There’ll be room in the auditorium for prams, and a space in the foyer with a few toys too. We’re working on a live-feed from the auditorium into the foyer as well.
See map below for locations.
Yes! There will be a coffee van on site with drinks available for purchase. The caffeine will help keep you All In-gaged through the day.
We’ll organise a yummy morning tea for everyone to kick off the day.
This year, to keep costs down, we’d love you to BYO a picnic lunch (and maybe a little extra to share too)
Tips:
1. You could organise with your Growth Group to do lunch together.
2. You could arrange to share lunch with another family.
3. You could bring a bit extra and be on the lookout for someone who forgot.
Yes! All In IS church for that day! But also, no. Our regular service times and locations won’t be happening on the 25 October.

It’s a chance to get out of the usual routine, hang out with friends, have heaps of fun, and most importantly, spend some time getting stuck into God’s word and thinking about what it means to follow Jesus. Whether you’ve been around church for years or you’re coming along for the first time, we’d love to have you there!
