I’d like to visit
We’ve ceased all our services for the time being, as part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re currently gathering as Church Online, and we’d love you to join us there.
From the 14th June, our building is open for those in particular need to gather to watch Church Online at 9am, and who cannot otherwise do so at home, or at a friends house. If you would like to attend this gathering, please contact our office (office@bac.org.au or 9831-5454) to book a seat, as numbers are limited.
When we are able to resume our regular Sunday gatherings, here is when we meet:
We would love to welcome you as our guest at any of our services.
Although each of our services have a slightly different feel – in formality, musical style and average age of attendees – all our services welcome people of every age and preference, so please feel free to join us at the time you prefer.

8am
Service Overview
We are thankful for our Anglican heritage and its traditions.
At this service, the minister wears robes and we enjoy traditional hymns.
We typically celebrate Holy Communion on the first, third and fourth Sundays of the month, with Morning Prayer on the second Sunday.
We use services from both An Australian Prayer Book and Common Prayer.
We share together in morning tea after the service.
Arriving
Arriving 5-10 minutes before the service will give you time to come in and find a seat in the auditorium.
You’ll find the entrance to our carpark on Orallo Ave. There are plenty of spaces available to park your car here, or on the neighbouring streets.
Entry to the church building is directly through the carpark – just head towards the large glass doors and into our foyer.
Upon entering the building, our greeters will welcome you and provide you with a name-tag (you can politely decline if you would like). All of our regular attenders wear one, and it’s a great way to help us get to know each other.
From the foyer, you can enter into the auditorium through the rear doors. As you enter, you will be provided with a Bible, a prayer book (if required) and a copy of our weekly newsletter. The newsletter contains important information for our members, and you may find it a useful glimpse into the life of our church. You may then take a seat in the auditorium anywhere you feel comfortable.

10am
Service Overview
We love the joy that kids bring to families. Our 10am service is family-friendly, and has a contemporary feel with modern music, led by a small band.
We believe it’s important for kids to see their parents engage in church life. As such, during the first 20 minutes of the service kids participate with their families as they join in singing, hearing the Bible read, a short kids talk, and have the opportunity to share in the Lord’s Supper once a month. After this time, kids up to Year 6 head out to their own learning program with our specialised team of teachers.
Children under school age can join our creche program from 9:55am.
After the service, adults and kids share in morning tea together. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and enjoy conversation over a tea or coffee.
