A place to connect, a place to explore, & a place to grow.

WHAT WE DO

WHAT WE DO

MEN

The men in our church meet once a week at 7:30pm on Thursday night's at church for a ‘Bloke’s Bible Study’ where we discuss the Bible, the Sermon or another topic, as well as have supper together.

We also have Saturday breakfasts together sometimes, as well as gather to watch sport, go 4WD’ing, or have a BBQ together.

WOMEN

There are a few ladies Bible study groups that happen throughout the week in a variety of locations and different times. If you’re interested to find a group, please open the file below (you will find combined prayer meeting details here also).

YOUTH GROUP

Oldaker Youth runs during the school term on Friday nights for kids in grade 7 to 12, and consists of games, activities, food, and a group-based discussion from the Bible.

Oldaker youth is a welcoming community of young people, where everyone belongs and strong friendships are formed. At Oldaker Youth, teenagers have the opportunity to engage in open and honest discussions about God, life and the challenges they face each day. We want everyone to have the opportunity to investigate Jesus for themselves and to find a supportive community in which they can grow in faith, wisdom and character as we seek to follow Jesus together.

To find out more about our youth program please contact our youth pastor, Joe Hays, joe.h@oldakercc.org.au

YOUNG ADULTS

Our Young Adults group is made of young people aged 18-30 (ish) who gather together on Thursday nights at some leaders house to study the Bible & play games. On the first Thursday of each month, they have dinner together at 6pm & then hang out. YA also have impromptu lunches & games afternoons together.

KIDS

Our primary school aged children participate in a dedicated program for around 30-45 minutes while the sermon is on each Sunday of the school term. During school holidays they stay in church with their families. The kids enjoy the learning & having fun together.

SENIORS

Our seniors are an important part of our church life. We love their faithfulness, their love of younger people, their wisdom, their joy, their prayer, their example and the sense of fun they bring to church. While they love being part of the wider church, sometimes they get together on their own! Every month they have a Leisurely Lunch at the church and couple of months they enjoy a singalong at the church too and they are always on the lookout for new friends to join them!

WORSHIP

At Oldaker Christian Church we love to worship God. We believe that worship is an intimate & personal connection with our Lord & Saviour. We aim to be transparent in the way we worship; to focus on God, and through that; provide a way for others to connect with Him.

Our team is made up of ordinary people who love God and have a heart to serve Him. We want to not just sing the songs; but to truly worship Him. We don’t want to simply play the music; but to lead people into the presence of God.

In God’s word it says, ‘Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.’ This is the heart of worship; the reason we worship, and no matter what we face, we want to come to him with joy and praise His name.

We also know that worship is more than a Sunday activity. That we are called to worship God with our lives by the way we live and to worship him in the “ordinary” days and activities of life.

PARTNERSHIP

As a church to we partner with a number of other groups locally, and internationally to make a difference in people’s lives and in their communities. Locally, we support and partner with Devonport Chaplaincy, Loaves and Fishes, and with a number of Aged Care Homes. 

Internationally, we partner with organisations, Christian workers and churches in Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Romania and Central Asia and we also support the annual Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gift program.  

And while our church is independent, and not part of a denominational structure, we do network with the Christian Community Churches of Victoria and Tasmania for help with administrative and legal obligations, and with Childsafe Australia who help us ensure our Child Safety systems and training are managed properly.
