A welcoming, Christ-centred, Bible-teaching church
in Melbourne’s inner east.

We’re a community of people seeking to live radically by the conviction that Jesus Christ has all authority.
If you’re interested to come along, we’ll do our best to welcome you - whoever you are.

We seek to take seriously the authority of the Bible, and from it we learn of the centrality of Jesus in how we relate to God, our Maker. We’re an evangelical church in the Reformed tradition deeply committed to renewing our faith in the gospel of Christ and to reforming our church life, and our individual lives, to conform to the Scriptures.

Our purpose:
‘Together making and growing Christ’s disciples’

church at 9:30am every Sunday

We meet to encourage one another to trust in Christ and to live for him day by day. Sunday church includes singing (a mix of classic and contemporary Christian songs), prayers, Bible reading and Bible preaching, and we serve morning tea afterwards.

Our 9:30am Sunday mornings also feature ‘Kids Church’, a dedicated children’s programme for preschool and primary school aged children.

Most Sundays our 9:30am church meeting is also accessible on-line by Zoom.
The Zoom meeting I D is 3 3 9 8 1 3 7 0 7 and the password C C H .
And we also aim to live-stream the 9:30am service to our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/christchurchhawthorn/
Sometimes the videos on the Facebook page are available to watch after the event, at a time that suits you.

We respect precautions against the spread of Covid and other infections.
