new to EVchurch
If you are new to EV Church then welcome! We are so grateful to God for all He is graciously doing amongst us and we'd love others to join us.
We are a fairly ordinary bunch of people who all share the most profound experience imaginable - God has forgiven us of our wrong doings on the basis of Jesus' death on the cross, in our place, two thousand years ago!
This website is designed to help you get to know who we are and what we are about as quickly and easily as possible. You can use the menu above or the quick links on the right hand side. Once again we say welcome to EVchurch.

What should I expect when I visit?
At all our congregations we try to make the awesome things of God accessible to people who have very little church background. We don’t ask you to join in giving money to our church. That is for those people who come regularly.
During church we will sing (feel free to join in or just listen along); pray (a leader from the front); read the Bible and have it explained during a sermon which unpacks the amazing relevance of all that God has given in these amazing scriptures.
In our sunday EV and saturday EV congregations the children will go out to their programs. Directions will be given so you will know where to take your kids.
At the end of our meetings you are welcome to join us for coffee. At sunday EV make sure you visit our welcome desk and grab a welcome pack.
What does EV Church have for my family?
We are big on family! Children are very important to Jesus and so very important to us. We take very seriously caring for them in a secure and properly supervised environment. We run a kids programme during our meetings and older kids gather during the week in a range of youth groups.
- During Church meetings
During our Sunday morning and Saturday night meetings we run a dedicated children’s program called EV Kids.
At our sunday meetings EV kids runs on a class structure. Because we are blessed with so many children we are able to structure EV kids by year groups with a high ratio of trained teachers overseeing and caring for the children in their classes. All children need to be signed in and signed out to ensure their safety and for your peace of mind.
Each class enjoys a mix of activities from games, singing, craft and Bible lessons that are age appropriate.
We have many parents who were glad to come back to church because their children loved EV kids so much!
- During the week
On Friday nights we run a series of programs for children from year 4 through to year 12.
Churn is for primary school students (years 4 - 6) and meets on Friday night at church from 5pm until 7pm. There are games, activities, Bible teaching and lots of fun. Dinner is provided and the cost is $4 each week.
