St. Barnabas meets Sundays at Elizabeth - It's at 'The Platform', corner of Woodford Rd and Elizabeth Way, Elizabeth. Church starts at 10am.
We have some of Kirundi/Swahili songs, led by our Burundian families, as well as some songs in English. There are translations of the Kirundi songs projected on our screen, so we know what we are singing.
We also have a kids talk each week, before the kids go out to Kids church.
Our African flavour makes us a bit different from the average Adelaide church. And we are continuing to adapt as we grow. But we won't give away what is central - the reading and teaching of God's word, the bible; the trust in Jesus who died as a sacrifice in our place to take away our sins; the meeting regularly, encouraging each other to love and good deeds, while waiting for his return.
We also have a church meeting Wednesdays 11am at St. Barnabas Firle, 86 Gage St. The style at this time slot is robed, prayer book, with communion each week.
We also have a bible study Monday nights. Contact Mike on 0433960619 for details
Mission Statement for both Elizabeth and Firle:
Our mission is to be a biblically based church, encouraging people in their faith, love and service of Christ, making disciples of all nations, and celebrating our oneness in Christ.
Vision Statement for Elizabeth:
We will be an English speaking church with some translations supplied. We will be focussed on the needs of immigrants and families. We aim to make and grow disciples by teaching God's word - especially to immigrants, the surrounding communities, and the home countries of our members.
