Crèche
Each week, they create a joyful, welcoming space where even our youngest congregation members feel safe and cherished. While always following Safe Church guidelines, the team ensures that children not only have fun but also begin to learn about Jesus in age-appropriate, playful ways. Songs, stories, and interactive activities help nurture their understanding of God’s love.
It’s a vibrant ministry that reflects the heart of our church—faithful, caring, and full of grace.

At the heart of Haberfield and Manly Life are our Life Groups – mid week small communities of people who gather together in homes.
Life Groups gather weekly or fortnightly to fellowship, study the bible and minister to each other. It is about being connected as friends and growing as disciples of Jesus together.

Courses
THE ALPHA COURSE
A series of sessions that explore the basics of the Christian faith in a relaxed, open, and friendly environment. Each session includes a short video, followed by discussion where participants can share thoughts and ask questions freely. It’s designed for anyone curious about life, faith, and meaning—no pressure, no judgment, just honest conversation.
​
​REFRAME
Many Christians today experience a frustrating and confusing disconnect between the story of Scripture and the story of our lives. ReFrame begins with the conviction that the story of Scripture is relevant to all of life: our jobs, our responsibilities, our relationships, and our world. The goal of ReFrame is to help Christians see the gospel with fresh eyes and experience the renewing power of Jesus Christ in every aspect of their lives.
​
​PRACTISING THE WAY
This course features eight sessions of teaching, guided conversation, and spiritual exercises designed to lay a foundation for lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus, alternating with connect dinners.​
PRE-MARRIAGE & MARRIAGE COURSE
Created by Alpha, these are designed to help couples strengthen their relationship and build a lasting foundation. The Pre-Marriage Course is ideal for engaged couples, while the Marriage Course supports couples at any stage of their journey. All discussions take place privately between the couple, allowing for honest and meaningful conversations in a relaxed setting. This is a free course.​
​
BIBLE COLLEGE
Come along and grow in your understanding of the Word of God. We offer options to suit all levels, from self learning to accreditation.​
