Crèche
Our Manly kids crèche program is lovingly run by Janna and an amazing team of dedicated volunteers.
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.

Young Adults
Our Young Adult community is a vibrant and growing group of people in their late teens and twenties who love doing life together. Whether it’s gathering to worship, diving into meaningful conversations, or simply hanging out, there’s always something happening.
We regularly host events where we share meals, connect deeply, and encourage each other in faith and friendship. It’s a welcoming space to be real, build lasting relationships, and grow in your journey with Jesus.
If you're a young adult looking for community, fun, and purpose, you’ll find your place here.

Life Groups
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.
Currently we have a number of different Life Groups.
