Find a Loving Community

Go Deeper
in Faith

Follow the
Way of Jesus
Surely there’s more than this?
At some point in our lives, many of us wonder if there is a more meaningful way to live.
You might find yourself going through the motions. Stuck in the daily grind. A spectator in your own life. Left wanting so much more.
Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
Maybe you’re filled with big questions and don’t know where to turn. Perhaps you are curious about Jesus, want to reconnect with him, or know Him more completely.
Could learning about Jesus in community be exactly what you’ve been looking for?
Deepen your understanding of Jesus.
At City on a Hill: Melbourne West we believe truth, purpose and wisdom is found in Jesus.
We invite you to join us and explore authentic and life-changing faith in a loving community.
No matter your opinions, questions, experiences or background – you are welcome here.



I love Melbourne’s west, and I’m honoured to lead a church here. We’d love you to join us, as we learn about God, discover his grace, and become more like Jesus.

Khoi’s favourite community, of course, is at home with his wife and two boys. He is an avid sports fan who supports mostly losing teams – which keeps him pretty humble (and sad).
