Welcome

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, part of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, and therefore the Presbyterian Church of Australia.

As a reformed and evangelical church, we are also connected in with The Gospel Coalition Australia.

We meet at 10:30am every Sunday  (9:30am on Good Friday and Christmas Day) on the corner of Forest and MacKenzie Streets, Bendigo. You can also catch us on 105.1 Life FM, each Sunday at 9am.

We confess faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and rejoice in the salvation He freely gives His people by His grace. In response to God’s goodness in this way, we seek to love God in return and seek to share what we have come to know with the people of Bendigo and surrounds.

Are you searching for more about this salvation, what it means to be a Christian or what is so good about the good news of the gospel of the Lord Jesus? We’d love to meet you and answer any questions you have. Or maybe you have something you’d like us to pray about? Why not contact us and let us know?

Together with Eaglehawk PC and Reforming, Bendigo East PC, we form the three Presbyterian ‘sister’ churches in Bendigo.

Our 2026 Annual (General) Congregational Meeting was held after our worship today. There’s nothing unsual to report, just the usual reception and adoption of reports (including the financial statement for the 25/26 financial year and the budget forthe 26/27 financial year – with the exception of one thing. Special mention was made of the contribution to the church by our, now retired, honorary Treasurer, Vic Ansell.

The following motion was carried with applause; ‘that the former Treasurer, Vic Ansell, be thanked for his excellent, reliable, conscientious and faithful service to God and this church over the last 4 years.’ Thank you Vic! ‘Well done, good and faithful servant!’

‘See the aspects of His return as promised by the Saviour (2)’ (Luke 12:49-59)

AudioPhilip

Still speaking to the crowds about the dangers of living lives where money is the only object, Jesus warned his listeners about the dangers of being unprepared for His coming and the dangers of overlooking the signs of the times. In Luke 12:49-59, He points out that his first coming was not necessarily for the purposes of bringing peace to the earth, but division, and then also that people should be much more aware of the nearness of His second coming and act urgently to prepare for it. That note of urgency in his words makes listening to and doing what He says, all the more important!
