of Jesus

71% of residents in Armstrong Creek & surrounding estates have only lived in the area for less than 5 years.

Many of us have invested heavily in here to create an ideal life.

With all the brand new infrastructure around us, we carry many aspirations for our families, careers and ways of life.

Everything hinges on what this up-and-coming community has to offer.

And yet, even with all the beauty around us, most of us know that there is more.

We believe that we are created for relationships.

What makes a community work is not the houses, parks and shopping centres.

People are the heart of a thriving community.

We believe that the way of Jesus is how we were designed to do life. And community was and is at its core. You are invited to experience this unique community for yourself.

“Encountering Jesus when I was 26 years old changed my life forever. I was comfortable, content and pretty satisfied with where life was. But when I met Jesus for the first time, I discovered that there was so much more. The deep longing that I had previously ignored, now had a fulfilment that would provide real purpose. Jesus comes to bring life abundantly, and as a community we want to help you discover that for yourself.”

Frequently asked questions

What should I expect on Sunday?

On Sundays we gather together to build friendships, learn about Jesus from the bible, sing together, pray together and some weeks take communion together. Everyone is welcome no matter if you’re new to Christianity, interested to learn more, looking for prayer, or have been a Christian for a long time.

What should I wear?

Come as you are. We dress pretty informally!

Can I just show up on a Sunday?

You sure can! No need to let us know you’re coming, but if you do let us know we can save you a seat, and make a plan to connect with you before or after our gathering.

What denomination of Christianity are you?

City on Hill: Armstrong Creek is an Anglican church that is part of the City on a Hill movement of churches. Some City on a Hill churches are independent and some are Anglican.

What is your vision?

City on Hill’s vision is to reach 10 cities with the beauty, truth and relevance of Jesus by planting 50 churches. Our vision at City on a Hill: Armstrong Creek is that we will be a “city set on a hill” (Matthew 5:14) where souls are saved and a family where deep disciples are made.

Why plant new churches?

Church planting is one of the most effective ways to build new disciples of Jesus, and grow the broader church. New churches are new communities, and therefore new opportunities for people to connect or reconnect with a church community. And new churches stretch Christians to pray more and be on mission, sharing the good news of Jesus with others.

Can I invite others?

Absolutely! The more the merrier. No need to let us know.

What is the gospel?

The gospel is the good news, or in other words good story of Jesus. The God-man who became like us – human, 2000 years ago. And then lived a perfect life, suffered a brutal death, before rising from the dead on our behalf. The gospel is bad news of our sin and rebellion, but also the good news of Jesus’ forgiveness and offer of a new life. A new way to live: one of joy, peace, and hope.

What do you believe about the Bible?

The Bible is God’s revelation to us. The words of the Bible are divinely inspired and without error. The Bible is sufficient for knowing God and equips us to live holy and meaningful Christian lives.

What do you believe about Jesus?

We believe that Jesus is the God-man. That he was a real, historic man who was also God in the flesh. We believe he lived the perfect life, suffered, died and rose again on our behalf. We believe that soon he is coming back to judge the living and dead, and that following him leads to a better life, one of quantity (eternity) and quality (joy).

We invite you to follow the way of Jesus in a welcoming community
