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.

Easter at St John’s…

Bendigo is a very busy place over Easter, but with so much going on and so much of it about the holiday itself and not the meaning of Easter, make sure you don’t miss what’s most important.

Come and join us at 9:30am on Good Friday to discover that real meaning. There will be a retiring offering to support the PresAID appeal for our partner chuches in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Stay for morning tea afterward and then be sure to catch ‘The Way of the Cross’ at 8pm in Rosalind Park (free entry).

Then, join us again on Easter Sunday morning at 10:30am (make sure you’ve put your clock back) to find out even more about it! Morning tea follows also…

‘Meet the Lord God who still controls the worst of days’ (Exodus 4:18-5:23)

AudioPhilip

It’s hard enough to cope with circumstances getting worse at any time, let alone when you’ve shown a willingness to obey the Lord’s directions! But in Exodus 4:18-5:23, Moses found out that obeying God doesn’t always mean that everything will go smoothly – sometimes it just doesn’t. In fact, the circumstances for Moses and the people of Israel got significantly worse because Moses obeyed. But…all was not lost and Moses had to find out the hard way that this too was part of God’s plan.
