meet me for coffee * I just want to sit and listen
this is what I make it * finally, space just to play
I could do with some caffeine and good music *
relax or express? * just give it a go, and have fun!
tastes good * this is who I am * room for everyone

Thank you for checking out our Website.

We are delighted you want to find out about us.
If you are looking for a people to worship God with, why not come along on Sunday.
If you have children, they are very welcome to be part of "Kids Alive", our children's programme. The children go to Kids Alive part way through the service. Feel free to accompany them to introduce yourself to our leaders.

Information about our services, the children's programmes and our weekly events along with transcripts of my sermons are on this website for you to read or download. On Sunday we hand out a news sheet and show information on a PowerPoint presentation.

When you come along we invite you to relax, enjoy and participate in the service as you are able, and do stay for morning tea at the end of the service. As you will see we run two Sunday Services –
a Contemporary Family Service at 9:00am
and an Inspiring Traditional Style Service at 11:00am.

We trust you will enjoy our website. Do pray for us. We aim to be a Bible honouring, caring church, serving our community in the love of Christ.

At Bethlehem Community Church there is
"a place for you to belong and a part for you to play."

God Bless you,

Rev. Jim Wallace B.Sc., B.Soc., B.Theol. (Pastor)
