As one of the many churches in Bendigo, we are a community of Christians of all ages, reformed and evangelical in our theology and practise, who confess faith in Jesus Christ and rejoice in the salvation He freely gives His people by grace. This grace compels us to worship and love God and to serve and value people, making His salvation known to all.

Are you searching for more about this salvation, what it means to be a Christian or what is so good about the good news? We’d love to meet you and answer any questions you have. Live in South East Bendigo? Check out our church plant, Reforming.

‘Timothy! Do your best to build a church on healthy relationships!’ (1 Timothy 5:1-16)

Philip

Because Paul loved the church he wrote to the younger pastor at Ephesus, Timothy, with many instructions on how Timothy should manage church life and various sub-groups within the church. According to 1 Timothy 5:1-16, Timothy was not only to preach the Word faithfully but show resepct and honour to all, treating older men as he would his father, younger men as his brothers, older women as he would his mother and younger women as sisters. There is an inter-generational aspect to the church that is special and unique. But Timothy was also to especially care for and help the widows in his congregation. With no pensions or other social security offered to them, their needs were great. The church is to be a place where people ‘be the church’ to each other. Our witness to the world only begins when we truly show the love of Christ to one another.
