AllNations Gather: Jesus the way to Life

AllNations Gather: Jesus the way to Life

Hunter Bible Church (map)

An easy 3 week course explaining how Jesus Christ is the way to life for everyone, everywhere

Jesus Christ lived in our world 2000 years ago. Whether you’re from Africa, Asia, America or Australia, he entered your world and showed the Way to Life for everyone.

But believe it or not, Jesus Christ is still alive as a real person, not a ghost! And that means he has the authority to speak about the way to life.

This 3 week course will help you see that Jesus is for you, no matter who you are.  Join AllNations for relaxed teaching sessions with time for open discussion.

8th September: Week 1 — Jesus in the World

15th September: Week 2 — Jesus the Word

22nd September: Week 3 — Jesus the Way


6pm–9pm
259 King St, Newcastle


AllNations is part of Unichurch, the church that meets on campus. We love getting together with food, friends and learning more about Jesus from the Bible.

Big Ideas Night: Biblical Theology

Big Ideas Night: Biblical Theology

Hunter Bible Church (map)

The Unfolding Story of the Bible…

The Bible isn’t a collection of disconnected stories, but one big story unfolding across history. From creation and the fall, through Israel, the promises of God, and ultimately to Jesus, the whole Bible is telling one story of God’s plan to redeem and restore his people. At this Big Ideas Night, we’ll explore Biblical Theology and see how the different parts of Scripture fit together into the one grand story.

Come and discover how seeing the Bible this way can change the way you read it — helping you understand individual passages in their bigger context and see how they all point us towards Jesus. It’s a chance to step back, see the big picture, and discover the breathtaking story God has been telling from Genesis to Revelation.

All In Sunday

All In Together. All In For Jesus.

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 Together. All in for Jesus.

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, 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.
