Church Life

If you're new at NEAC we'd love to meet you (if we haven't already). Coming along to church for the first time might not feel like an easy thing to do. We want to help you feel welcomed by the first person you meet. We'd also love to share with you some of the things happening at church. If you'd like to know more, speak to anyone of the NEAC ministry staff or share your details with us here.

As a church, we recognise that everything we have and are is from and for God. We seek to support the preaching of the good news of Jesus here in Erskineville & Newtown and around the world. To this end, we encourage our regular members to give as they are able to support the growth of God’s kingdom.

We recommend electronic transfers to enable giving to be regular and anonymous. You can also  give via credit card.

By donating to the ministry of NEAC you are also supporting our missionary partners. You can also give to them directly here.

At NEAC we are committed to creating spaces where we can encourage, experience and express the “one another” life of Christian community outside Sunday services. Each week in Small Groups we hope to do this by talking with each other, praying together and looking at God’s word.

Express interest in 2019 groups:

At NEAC we think Jesus gets to our desk Monday morning before we do. He is not just interested in our work, he is Lord over it. If Jesus’ grace changes everything, how does it alter our everyday work stresses? The communication breakdown in our office emails? Our career questions and longings?

The gospel of Jesus Christ reveals the nature of our hearts, our world and God’s kingdom. In light of the gospel our whole vision of work changes. Our prayer is that God would release many people to use the precious gifts and time he has given them to work in Jesus’ name.

Twice a year we run a lecture to help us contemplate what it looks like for us to be captivated by Jesus in our working life. 

Citizens is a year-long journey a group of workers takes together to discover how the gospel changes them and their work. It takes a daily journey with God in scripture, reading works written by Christians through the ages, an authentic community of prayer and thoughtful consideration of the heart to make sense of work. The story of scripture alters how we understand ourselves, God’s world and the work before us. It is worth spending a year making sense of what most of your life is about.

We'd love you to approach Easter with a deep sense of hunger for God's word and His provisions for us, especially in the cross. We've created a daily devotional series that we'll email to you each weekday using different paintings from art history and a scripture passage to help us reflect on the events and meaning of the Lenten season. These will start Monday March 11.
