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.

Presbytery Visitation this Sunday, July 19

Philip

One of the joys of being a part of the Presbyterian Church (of Victoria, and Australia) is the levels of oversight we are used to. As a Presbyterian congregation, we are under the oversight of the local elders (Session) as well as the oversight of our Presbytery, a body made up of representative teaching and ruling elders of all the congregations within our region. In our case, the Presbytery of North Western Victoria which stretches from Castlemaine to Mildura. You can read more about Presbyterian Church government here.

This Sunday, July 19, we will welcome members of the Presbytery’s Five-Yearly Visitation Committee, whose task is to (as the name suggests), visit us, ask questions of members, managers, elders and the minister, receive the completed questionairres issued by the Presbytery beforehand, and work all this into a report for the Presbytery regarding the health of the congregation and how the gospel is progressing among us. It’s been some time since the last Presbytery visit, so we are looking forward to this one, after our usual monthly lunch (which has been moved a week earlier to coincide with this!)

‘Finding your rest in Jesus’ (Matthew 11:28-30)

AudioPhilip

When Jesus invited his hearers to ‘Come to Him and find rest’ in Matthew 11:28-30, his words have long stood out like a beacon on a dark night. We live in a world where there are so many demands on us – in terms of time, responsibility and commitment – at work, school, family and community. As followers of Jesus, we also have the extra burden of being hated and misunderstood by the world, all of which means that what Jesus offers is so more important for believers to take up.
