We are an emerging rural church for all ages, serving the villages in the Fynn Valley with acts of kindness and generosity, especially with young families and teenagers.
Why ‘Emerge’? Like a fruit tree, there's beauty in seeing new growth emerging and older growth becoming stronger as it changes through each season – bud to blossom to fruit; trunk to branch, twig and leaf.
We believe that church is not just a building but about Creating Community and a place to belong, where we are all involved in something bigger than ourselves.
At Emerge Church, in Playford on Sunday mornings, we have multi-generational worship, growing together in Jesus and serving our community by doing something small to be part of something big. We also express our creativity with Bible art journaling.
Psalm 68:6 says 'God sets the lonely in families'. Many in our communities, especially teenagers, struggle with rural isolation.
Playford pop-up youth group provides a safe place of connection for young people to make friends, play games and be creative as they enjoy toast, hot chocolate, or homemade pizzas cooked in a pizza oven!
'Voyage' helps young people explore some of life’s challenges such as: relationships, community, identity, friendships, peer pressures and how Christianity can help them with big issues and what it means to be a Christian.
'Singing Ducklings' meets on Friday mornings fortnightly in Grundisburgh, for toddlers and their grown-ups to meet, sing & make music.
In 'Gather', our midweek adult discipleship group, we grow deeper, authentic relationships with each other, share hospitality, have fun and we encounter the Holy Spirit in prayer.
