At St George’s Church
- 8:30am (in Church) is traditional in structure (Prayer Book), music (hymns) and style. Meetings last generally 1 hour.
- 10:30am English (in Church) is contemporary in style, music and language with a family feel. There are programmes for school age children and youth (during term time). Meetings are generally about 75 minutes long.
- 10:30am Korean (in Hall) is for people who speak Korean. Meetings are generally 90 minutes long. There are programmes for school age children and youth (during term time).
- 6:00pm (in Church) is contemporary in style and language with a less formal feel.
All of our services contain the elements of creed, prayer, Bible readings and sermon in the evangelical Anglican tradition.
The 10:30m services share a kids & youth program, and morning tea together after church.
- Hands, Masks, Distance: Hand sanitiser and masks are available.
- Ventilation: The building will be well ventilated – if the weather is cold rug up!
At our 10:30am services, everyone participates in the first half of the service together. In the second half, Kids & Youth move to age appropriate programs (conducted in English), while Adults remain in church for a Bible talk. All ages gather for morning tea together after church.
Our 6:00pm service is very popular with teenagers and young adults.
School Holidays: During the School Holidays we celebrate our intergenerational church family, with kids & youth participating for the entire service. These usually include simpler lyrics & liturgy, all age activities, and a shorter sermon (during which related activities are provided for children).
We know a first visit to church can be a bit daunting or confusing. So here’s what to expect…
- We’ll say hello when you arrive, after the service, and sometimes there’s an informal welcome time in the meeting.
- We’ll sing, usually two or three Christian songs during the service. Sing along if able or just listen.
- We’ll pray. Some prayers are in a book or on the screen; others are led from the front. Participate as you feel comfortable; you don’t have to pray out loud.
- We’ll hear updates on church news and upcoming events. There’s a newsletter, too.
- We’ll hear some passages from the Bible read.
- We’ll listen to a Bible talk (about 20 minutes).
Church services are generally last 1 hour. We’d love you to join us one Sunday.
We can’t think of a better place for you to learn about Jesus. Let us know where you’re up to in your exploration. No one will be pushy; we’re delighted to help.
Leaders are happy to offer resources or meet with you. You may like to join a Simply Christianity course, or even a small Bible study group. Just ask.
You won’t need to be familiar with the Bible to participate in our meetings. Most readings are onscreen, and are read aloud.
Nobody is going to be offended if you ask honest questions or raise issues (whatever they might be). And if you just want to attend for a while and find your feet, that’s great, too.
The majority of our income is voluntary contributions by church members (via a collection during the service or by electronic banking). Our main expenses are staff costs and building maintenance. We also encourage members to give to Christian mission agencies. We don’t receive any direct financial support from the wider Anglican church.
We don’t ask visitors to contribute financially; please feel no obligation to do so.

Kids will go to Mac4Kids children’s program (conducted in English), while Adults will listen to an engaging bible talk. It will run until the end of the service.

— ABOUT JESUS —
“A friend of mine says that if you know the meaning of two words, you know our message, the Christian Gospel…”
Those words are “Jesus” (which means “God rescues”), and “Christ” (a title which means “God’s ruler”).
A person becomes a Christian when they accept these two things: that Jesus’ death on the first Good Friday was God’s way to rescue us from our sin, and that Jesus’ resurrection on the first Easter Sunday meant that God had placed him in charge of us all.
The first Christian sermon after the first Easter ended with: “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ…repent and be baptised every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” (Acts 2:36-38)
With this “repent and believe” response, many people changed their lives completely.
It’s the same for us – we’re all learning about following Jesus; please come and find out more. Take our short course: “Simply Christianity,” or join a small group. Maybe listen to a sermon here online or in church.
Simply Christianity
A short course to introduce or refresh the basics of Christian belief about Jesus – normally run each term. Relaxed atmosphere, questions welcome!
