Connected in commuNity
September Greetings
What a joy it was to gather for our ALL IN Team Night this week! We’re so thankful for the heart and faithfulness you bring as you serve across so many areas of church life. If it’s time for you to jump onto a team, drop us a line -we’d love to hear from you.
There’s plenty coming up in the life of our church the Global Week of Prayer, Father’s Day hot breaky, and more. Make sure you take a look below and mark your calendar.
7 Sep Gathered & Father’s Day Hot Breaky from 9am 14 Sep Gathered 21 Sep Gathered 28 Sep Gathered in Home Church
Further to our Partners email, as we’ve just wrapped up this series and reframed the why and what of financial partnership, it would be such a practical help and pastoral encouragement to hear how this has landed for you. Thank you for taking a moment to engage with the I’m Planning to Partner response on our giving page—or feel free to connect directly with the office if you’d like to talk more.
And here we go—kicking off a new series this month! We love these moments to draw from the Word together, and we know this series is going to be a blessing to us all. Take a read below.
Current Teaching Series
Obedience is more than a single choice; it’s a way of life. In this series, we’ll explore what it looks like to walk with long obedience in the same direction.
To daily surrender to God’s voice in the small, the costly, and the enduring moments of our journey. With messages centred around
- Hearing God — The Beginning of Obedience
- Faithfulness in the Everyday
- Obedience in the Hard Things — When Following Costs Us
- Obedience with Endurance — A Life That Finishes Well
We look forward to hearing a number of voices minister this month! We hope you can join us.

As the practice that brings us regularly into fellowship with God and deepens our unity with each other, our prayer with each other is powerful in shaping us as a community. Join us as we open our building for regular times of morning prayer.

Coming Up
Looking forward to partnering with the 24-7 Global Prayer Movement the first week in Sep, declaring God’s greatness over every part of the world! Over 90 communities across Australia, and over 1000 across the world in over 100 countries will be gathering to seek God’s presence and declare His greatness. You can join us in daily devotions & prayer via YouVersion Bible App & Lectio 365
Sunday Kids
We run our GroKids program for primary-aged children during the service on Gathered Sundays. During this 45-minute session kids play, pray and learn creatively from God’s word
We have prepared a space at the back of the auditorium with lounges for parents/caregivers and some table activities, books and toys for your little ones (0-Pre-School) to use.
Coming Up
Look out for some younger faces serving in GroKids, helping with Little Sprouts, and pitching in before and after the service — they’re our amazing Junior Leaders, so be sure to give them a big smile, fist-bump, or hi-five!
Alongside this, we’ve introduced a simple morning tea for our Little Sprouts (toddlers and preschoolers). Midway through the message, they’ll be invited to the picnic mats for some healthy fruit or veggies and crackers/bars, with allergy-aware options. All are welcome to join in — or BYO if you’d prefer. We hope this makes your morning a little easier!

Connect Group
Our groups keep us connected to Jesus and His community by helping people to build relationships and centralise fellowship around our joint relationship with Jesus, creating community where new and existing congregation members can be known and cared for. They cause us to grow to be more like Jesus, through communal discipleship, providing a space for people to share, ask questions and grow in their spiritual formation. They provide regular spaces to pray with one another and encourage each other in how we are reaching others with God’s love.
Find our more about our midweek connect groups.
Young Adults
Young Adults from our high school graduates through to ~mid twenties gather regularly for Home Church, Connect Groups and events.
The Young Adults of C3 Monash also make for a vibrant addition to our volunteer team.
