Church Life
I'm new here
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.

"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:31-33
In this current time of crisis, let us use our newfound time wisely and draw near to God. Let us fixed our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Small groups
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.

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

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.

Workplace lectures
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.

God is the author of salvation and is continually at work in the world around us in infinite ways. But he is also the author of your own personal story of faith. In 1 Thessalonians, we get a glimpse of the story that God wrote in the life of one young, small and struggling church.
As we study this book together, it is a great time to reflect on our own stories of faith - past, present and future. To this end, we are releasing a devotional journal to help you stop and contemplate the story that God is writing in your life. Occasionally, we get a chance to consider these things when we share how we became a Christian with someone. However, God is always at work in our lives, and is writing our story each and every day.

1 Thessalonians: Stories of Faith
Paul reminds the Thessalonians of the beginnings of their faith and defends the part he played in it - likely due to bad gossip about him and his absence from them (2:18). In doing so, he models how believers can build each other up. They can encourage and comfort (2:12), urge holy living (2:12), share their lives (2:8), and share God’s word (2:13). We are to love each other like family (2:7, 11, 17). Paul can even say that doing this is his glory and joy (2:20).
