Shac@6 welcomes you!

The Shac@6 congregation is a unique blend of adults from their 20s to 80s, unified by their desire to grow in knowing and loving Jesus Christ the Lord in the reality of adult life. We are a congregation of about 80 people, which enables us to get to know each other and participate in deeper ways. All adults are welcome, from all backgrounds and life experiences. We are a growing and genuine bunch of people!

 

We have two wings to our community life - Sunday celebrations, where preaching from the Bible, music, prayer, spending time together are our priorities, and Small Groups, where we can do life together with other Christians and those seeking to find out more about God's love, word and plan for the world.

 

We are heavily involved in the life of the church and in our community - The Alpha Course, soup van ministry, missions, the Growing Leaders programme, and being the best we can be in our workplaces. We support social justice endeavours like Micah Challenge and Heal Africa. We love spending time together over dinner once a month after the service (usually the first Sunday), where all are welcome. Our Small Groups are always willing to grow - and you can join a group by contacting Peta and Jack Jane via email.

 

Our minister is the Rev'd Megan Curlis-Gibson, whose focus is to empower the entire congregation for service, and to ensure God's word is at the centre of all we do. She also has a special pastoral care mandate for the Young Adults in our congregation and runs the Growing Leaders course across Shac.

 

Shac@6 is a special place to be - worship is real, prayer is heartfelt, creativity is encouraged and the Bible is taken seriously. Come and join us on a Sunday night!

Spiritual Gifts at Shac@6

"All God's gifts of grace are to be used and valued in the church body, with love as the greatest guide, to build up, encourage and console, for a welcoming and ordered gathering every time!" This is how we have summarised the Bible's teaching in 1 Corinthians 12-14 over our recent sermon series. You can find most of the sermons to listen to at our sermon page. On Pentecost Sunday, the 23rd May, we want to encourage people to learn about their spiritual gifts and make plans to use them in the body of the church. You can download this Spiritual Gifts survey to see how God has shaped you to serve and bless. Bring the results along to church and share them with your friends, small group and pastors.
