We are a new Church Plant modelled on the New Testament and we at Bli Bli Community Baptist believe
"church" is much more than a Sunday service. We
are a growing family who share our lives with each other, and serve and
support each other all throughout the week too (as you do in a normal healthy
family). Like Jesus, we also use our God-given time, energy, talents
and resources to serve and meet the needs of others outside our fellowship on
a regular basis.
Here's a bit more about us.
Church Service
If you've never been to a
church service before, or haven't been to one like ours, you may be
pleasantly surprised to find how relaxed we are! There's no dress code,
no expectations, the teaching is relevant and in a language you'll
understand. In fact, we think you'll soon feel right at home.
To help give you an idea of the kinds of things that take place in one of our
Sunday morning services, here's some more details:
- Duration: Services
usually run for about an hour or so (9:30am
- 10:30am), followed by a "cuppa".
- Music: We
worship God on Sunday morning through a variety of contemporary songs,
as led by our small church music team (usually acoustic/electric/ bass guitars and drums) and singers. Sometimes we clap or raise our
hands to worship God. But, as one of our songs goes, worship is
"more than a song" (or songs).
- Prayer: We
usually pray a few times in most services, either led by someone up the
front, or just quietly on our own. When the opportunity presents
itself and a need is shared with the church, some of us are also keen to
pray for that person and for that need. We have an area set up if you require personal prayer after the service.
- Offering: We have an offering box for our church family to thank God for how He's provided for
them.
- Messages:
Our messages are brought by our pastor or guest speakers, and are aimed
at helping you discover what the bible says about how to live.
- Communion: This
is an important part of our church life. We usually celebrate Communion once every three weeks. It is a sacred
time when we remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Jesus said that
we should keep doing this until He comes again.) If you don't wish
to partake in this, again, just feel free to let the Communion bread and
cup pass you by.
- Children: We
have a children's program (KidZone) which runs during the morning service. KidZone is for children of kindy, prep and primary
school age.
- After
Church: After the service we have a time of just hanging out
together and getting to know each other better. We have tea and coffee available.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our Sunday morning services.
