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.

Report on our 2026 Annual Congregational Meeting…

Philip

Our 2026 Annual (General) Congregational Meeting was held after our worship today. There’s nothing unusual to report, just the usual reception and adoption of reports – including the financial statement for the 25/26 financial year and the budget for the 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 (and his very patient wife, Lynn), 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 crippling effect of legalism challenged by the Saviour’ (Luke 13:10-21)

AudioPhilip

The Lortd Jesus was often in direct confrontation with the religious leaders of his day, and the event recorded in Luke 13;10-21 is a prime example of that. When Jesus healed the crippled woman on the Sabbath in the synagogue, things quickly got heated. The legalistic ruler of the synagogue got angry that jesus had healed on the Sabbath, which only caused Jesus to grow angry at the ‘fruitlessness’ of those in charge, and the extent to which their legalism caused such spiritual blindness.
