I’M NEW HERE
And we’re so glad you are!
No matter who you are or where you come from, you are welcome here!
You matter to God, and you matter to us.
We are a community of real people who don’t always have it all together, but who are committed to living, loving and revealing Jesus to everyone around us, and beyond.
So, if you’re new to church, looking for a church home, or want to know more about returning to faith in Jesus, we’re here for you.

FAQs
Are kids welcome?
We are a family church! We love children, and they are welcome at all of our gatherings!
Our River Kids program runs during our 10am gatherings at both Peakhurst and Chipping Norton during the school term.
If it’s your first time, our team will collect the following information:
- child’s name
- address
- date of birth
- school year level
- any special instructions for your child (eg. allergies, special needs etc)
- parent/guardian name, contact phone, email
All River Kids leaders and volunteers have completed all the requirements of our Safe Church policy.
What do I wear?
We care about you not what you are wearing… Some dress up and some come in casual attire. We invite you to come just as you are. What matters is that you are here.
What happens after the gatherings?
You might like to allow yourself a few extra minutes after each gathering to stay and chat.
- After our 10am Peakhurst gathering, we have tea & coffee each fortnight.
- After our 5pm Peakhurst gathering, we enjoy dinner together (sometimes it’s provided, sometimes it’s BYO).
- After our 10am Chipping Norton gathering, we have lunch each fortnight.
You are a very important person to us! We’d love to meet you and answer any questions you may have. So please let us know if it’s your first time here!
Who will be there?
You’ll be greeted by our friendly Connect Teams right from the moment you drive into the car park. If you have any questions, they will be more than happy to help. Look for the people wearing the name lanyards.
Our Connect Teams will give you a New People’s bag on the way into the church which will include a Connect Card. This is our way of getting to know you, and connecting you to our church family. Connect Cards can then be returned to the person who gave it to you, or emailed back to us at [email protected].
Is your premises wheelchair accessible?
Yes! We have many people who attend use walking sticks, walkers, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. Everyone is welcome and we will do everything we can to make you feel comfortable.
Where can I park?
We have ample parking at both of our sites, as well as disabled spaces and wheelchair access available.
Are teachings available online?
If you can’t make it in-person, our 10am Peakhurst gatherings are live-streamed, fortnightly. The teaching segment of these videos are then uploaded into our app.
Every other 10am Peakhurst gathering and each 10am Chipping Norton Gathering are recorded and uploaded into our app as a podcast.
All of our teachings can be found via the GRLC Online Hub or on our GRLC Church App.
