Our people
We are a church family of all ages, backgrounds and stages of life, united by our purpose: to know and share Jesus.
Who we are
Christian Reformed Church Wollongong is a community for all ages, stages, personalities and backgrounds. Some of us have followed Jesus for decades; others are just starting to explore. What we share is a desire to know Jesus and to share him with others.
Our mission
Our purpose is to know and share Jesus. We want to know him by discovering him in the Bible, depending on him in prayer and obeying his commands. We want to share him by gathering around him, teaching and leading each other, and introducing people to him and his church.
How our church is led
We are an elder-led church. As a congregation of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia, we believe Jesus Christ is the head of his church, and that he cares for his people through leaders chosen from within the congregation.
- Elders serve as shepherds of the church. Together with the pastor they oversee the spiritual health of the congregation, care for members, and make sure the Bible is faithfully taught.
- Our pastor is a minister of the Word, called to preach, teach, lead worship and care for the congregation alongside the elders.
The pastor and elders meet regularly to pray for the congregation and to lead and care for the life of the church.
