About

Our mission

We're on about the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Great Commandments (Matthew 22:34-40).

We, with God's help, want to see all people hear the good news of Jesus, to see them become his disciples and to teach them to obey everything he commanded, including the commands to love God, love people and make disciples.

LOVING GOD. LOVING PEOPLE.

About us

At Morwell Presbyterian Church, you can expect a friendly welcome!

We know visiting a new church can make anyone nervous, so we aim to make you feel at home. You'll find us at 50 Church  Street. The cross and the stained-glass windows? That's us.

If you arrive by car, you are welcome to park in the street or in the car park out the back. The service starts at 10am. Someone will welcome you in the foyer and invite you to sit where you feel comfortable.

We sing old and new songs together, with lyrics on the screen. You'll be invited to stand to sing with us if you feel like it. Someone will then pray, there's be a brief 'Kids Spot', then we'll read the Bible - Bibles are provided, plus the words are on the screen - and we'll listen to a message about Jesus.

The church service goes for about 75 minutes, and then you'll be invited to stay for free morning tea and chat. Once a month we stay and share lunch together, and we hope you'll join us for that too. It's always delicious!

We warmly welcome children to our church! We have a basket near the door with clipboards full of activities for kids, and a creche room where wriggly little ones can play while their parents or carers can still see and hear the service. There are toys in the hall, tasty biscuits and table soccer to enjoy after church. We hope that kids will enjoy being at church, and we prioritise their safety by ensuring that all church leaders have Working With Children Checks and have completed training with the Safe Church Unit of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria.

You can find out more about the work of the Safe Church Unit at www.safechurchpcv.org.au.

If you join us at church, you'll hear about our weekly Growth Groups and all-ages Prayer Meeting. We also have a monthly Craft Group for the makers among us.

We hope to welcome you soon!

What we believe

The best summary of what we believe the Scriptures teach is found in the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF), one of the several great summaries of doctrine that emerged out of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Key elements in this Confession are the sovereignty of God in creation, providence and redemption, the centrality of the life, death and resurrection of the God-Man Jesus Christ in God’s purposes, and the necessity of the Holy Spirit in the application of all aspects of salvation. It also highlights the nature and purpose of the Church, and the need to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ in every area of life.

The WCF is many pages long, if you don't feel like reading the whole lot here are 9 core things we believe the Bible teaches and therefore every Christian ought to accept.
