Darfield Baptist Church's Mission Vision is "Here to make a Difference".
We are Christ’s loving community called together for the glory of God. By the power of the Spirit at work in us, we purpose:
To become more Christ like;
To be as Christ to each other;
To show Christ to the world - bringing others to know and follow Him.
Rooted in our heritage as a church of God’s people, we are:
Christ-centred - Teaching from a Christ-centred, biblical foundation
Intergenerational and Family focused
Serving - Here to make a difference, engaging with our community practically, socially and spiritually.
Missional - God has placed each of us where we can minister to others both “here” and “there.”
Journeying - A vibrant and dynamic church on God’s journey.
Outlined below are the core services we offer, organisations and programs we connect with and much more.
We'd love you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30am at the Darfield Church. You will discover a family atmosphere where there is contemporary worship and Bible based preaching. We are informal in style, each Sunday we share stories and celebrations with the rest of the church. We love to hear about people's 'God Moments' and prayerfully support each other. A 'Kid's Church' children’s programme runs during the sermon focussed on ages 2 to 12 with teaching and discipleship in faith through games, songs, memory verses, videos and craft activities. Stay after the service for the opportunity to catch-up over a cuppa.
On the first Sunday of each month we celebrate the Lord’s Supper during the service.
On the third Sunday of each month we share a pot-luck style lunch together after the service.
On the second and forth Sunday of each month an additional service is run at the Glenroy Community Hall from 9:00am. This service follows a more traditional worship style and includes a Sunday School and morning tea following the service.
There are many Ministry teams coordinated by members of Darfield Baptist Church, including focus on: Children; Youth; Neighbourhood Community Groups; Missions; Women's; Men's; Community; Prayer; Worship; and, wider ministry efforts Darfield Baptist Church is involved with. Head over to the Our Team page to find out more and who to connect with.
Alpha is an 11-week course that creates a space, online or in person, where people are excited to bring their friends for a conversation about life, faith and Jesus. The same Alpha content is run all over the world, by Christians of all traditions, sharing the good news of Jesus.
Other courses and training are run from time to time on topics like prayer, discipleship, baptism, church membership, etc.
Please contact one of the Chruch Elders for any queries about baptisms, weddings or funerals.
