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.

19th August: Week 1 — Jesus in the World

2nd September: Week 2 — Jesus the Word

9th 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.

Spring. Is. HERE!

Spring is officially here, and we thought we’d celebrate with a low-key afternoon in the sun. We’ll crack out the lawn games, kick a footy, play some cricket, or just enjoy a chat over a tea or coffee.

It’s the kinda of thing you can drop into for a while, or stay all arvo. Everyone is welcome!

We’ll put on a sausage sizzle, and provide the spaces and games, just show up and enjoy yourselves!

We worship the mighty, big hearted God who loves!

Join us for a night of encouragement, refreshment, and prayer & praise to our great God!

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, you his servants;

Praise the name of the Lord. 

Let the name of the Lord be praised,

both now and forevermore.

- Ps 113:1-2

Our God is worthy of all praise, honour, and glory now and forever. He is far above us. Yet he stoops down to pick us up, to raise us up to be with him in glory.

What a privilege it is to be able to praise and cry out to God! Come and join us for a night filled with songs and prayers, as we lift our eyes and voices to our exalted God and encourage one another.

Compassion works!

Our church has been partnering with Compassion Australia to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name for many years. Now we have a chance to witness the difference the work of Compassion makes with our own eyes!

See firsthand how our local church partners are serving their communities in the Philippines. You will meet and be encouraged by church leaders as well as visit local families in their homes.

On this trip you will travel to Manila and Iloilo City with small groups from like-minded Australian churches. Join us to see how local church members worship God in both word and deed by ensuring each child is known, loved, protected and released from poverty in Jesus’ name.

“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.”

Psalm 145:13
