THE SABBATH

WHY SATURDAY?

Seventh-day Adventists worship on Saturday - the seventh day of the week - following the Biblical Sabbath, which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. It's a day set apart for rest, worship and community.

If you've always attended Sunday church, Saturday might feel different at first. Most people say it quickly becomes one of their favourite parts of the week.

NO GUESSWORK

GETTING IN & PARKING

There are two driveways off Bridgman Drive and a few places to park once you're in. Here's what each one actually looks like - step through them in the order you'll drive in.

YOUR FIRST MORNING

WHAT TO EXPECT

A step-by-step of what actually happens from the moment you arrive - so there are no unknowns.

Arriving

Someone will greet you at the door

You don't need to sign in or register - just walk in. Someone will be at the entrance to welcome you and point you in the right direction. You won't be left to figure it out on your own.

9:10am

Prayer Meeting

Head into the main hall and take a seat anywhere. This opening session is low-key - some singing, a short reflection and prayer. It's a warm way to settle in before the morning proper begins.

9:30am

Sabbath School - Bible Study Groups

The congregation splits into age-based groups for Bible discussion - Juniors, Teens, Young Adults and Adults each meet separately. Just let one of the people who greeted you at the door know you're new and they'll point you in the right direction. No prior knowledge required, and no one will put you on the spot.

10:30am

Break

A short break between sessions - a chance to stretch your legs and chat with people before the main service. Nobody will rush you.

10:45am

Church Service

The main service brings everyone back together. Music is led by our choir and a traditional ensemble - piano, strings and more - with hymns and songs displayed on screen so you don't need to know them in advance. There's scripture, a sermon, and time to reflect. The service runs around 60 - 75 minutes.

12:30pm

Fellowship Lunch

After the service, we share a meal together - a tradition in Adventist churches and one of the best parts of the day. It's a relaxed, shared lunch and you're genuinely welcome to stay. There's no awkward invitation required - just come along.

FAMILIES WELCOME

CHILDREN & FAMILIES

Kids are a valued part of our church, not an afterthought. Here's what's available for your family on a Saturday morning.

During Sabbath School

At 9:30am, children and young people meet in their own age-group classes - Beginners, Primary, Juniors and Teens all run at the same time as the adult sessions. When you arrive, let whoever greets you know you have kids with you and they'll show you where to go.

During the Service

Children are welcome in the main service. There's a short children's story during the service, just for the kids, before they head to their own space or rejoin the family.

Keeping Kids Safe

Our church operates under the Adsafe child-safe code of conduct - a framework endorsed by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australia. Safeguarding is taken seriously by everyone here.
