Gospel truth. God’s love. Real change.

9:45am & 6pm

Every Sunday

We’re a local Presbyterian Church where the good news of Jesus is taught and expressed in a loving community leading to real change.

Meet Jesus.

All over Australia, there are churches where Christians would love to listen to your questions, and introduce you to Jesus – no matter your background.

Come along to one of our services, discover more about Jesus through Uncover John, or catch up for coffee with Luke Wigney.

We can’t wait to introduce you to Jesus this year!

As we gather together to hear the truth of God’s word and experience the reality of God’s love, we open ourselves up to the real change that God wants to do in our lives.

Gospel truth

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

2 Timothy 3:16- NIV

“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”

1 John 4:7 – NIV

God’s love

We endeavour to speak the truth in love, in an atmosphere of God’s love. We desire to create a culture where we genuinely love each other not just on a Sunday but throughout the week.

A word from the senior minister: Stephen Taylor

On behalf of the congregation, I welcome you to Charlestown Presbyterian Church.

We are a group of Christians of all ages, in all stages of life and from all different backgrounds, who meet together to worship God and to encourage one another in their faith in Jesus.

  • We meet at Charlestown (and Swansea) weekly but are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus to the whole world. We do that through helping the revitalisation of Churches in Wee Waa and Hamilton as well activity involving ourselves with mission teams and missionaries in Melbourne, Broome, Cambodia, Japan and Vanuatu.
  • We are part of the Presbyterian Church of Australia which means we believe and teach the word of God, organise ourselves under the leadership of elders and deacons and have an evangelical, complementarian outlook.
  • We are a Church of young and old, male and female, we are from all nations, rich and poor, mature believers as well as new Christians. We worship together, as well as study together, pray together, eat together, laugh together and do life together. We are committed to supporting each other in the walk of faith through the ups and downs of life while encouraging every member to use their spiritual gifts for the service of our great God.

Real change

Our reformed evangelical faith helps us to see that real change is possible as God works through the power of His word and through his Spirit led people.

We’d love to see you at church!

Please come along any Sunday or join us for one of our many mid-week activities.
