Christians grow in community. There is no unity without community and there is no community without gathering regularly together in a small group where you can get to know a few people intimately and share life's journey together.
Our grow groups are intentional gatherings of 4-6 (sometimes more) people each week who share life together through:
- looking back - at the week that was,
- looking up to what God is saying, through bible discovery,
- looking in to see how I apply what God is saying in my life
- looking out to the world around us and inviting others to discover life in Jesus
For those who want to know more about Grow groups including our 'leadership training video', this is available here (Video is 28 min + some Q & A).
If you would like to join a grow group or find out more please contact us

YDG is happening in 2025!
It's a not just a group - it's about who we are as young people - doing the journey of figuring out what it means for us to follow Jesus as we navigate the highs and lows of highschool, first jobs, sporting triumphs and snapchat.
We get together fortnightly on a Sunday from 5-7pm, in our natural environment (the couch :D ) where we dinner and chat about life ... this is often preceded by uno no mercy, gagaball, or nine square... and yeah we do some bible digging that often leads to many, many questions about who wrote what , and why, and how do we apply this in the world of Travis Scott... tiktok. Occasionally this breaks out in dramatic form (we do love our re-enactments) or sleepovers (movies don't watch themselves you know)...
So if you're entering into middle school, highschool or feel called to disciple those who are figuring themselves out... complete an enrolment form here.
For further information about Youth Discipleship - ask Jesse.
To cover food costs, we'd love a contribution of $25 per person per term for dinner ($60 for 3 or more participants from the same family). This can be paid via direct deposit or credit card online here. Please give your name and reason for payment.

Sunday School runs during school terms within our 9:30am Sunday Service and provides a time where children aged 3 - 12 can share in fun, faith, friendships, and learn about Jesus.
Our leaders provide a range of varying experiences to help children draw closer to God through music, bible teaching, prayer, games, and creative activities. All our leaders are safe-ministry trained and screened, and will love your kids almost as much as you do.
All children aged 3 - 12 are welcome and meet as one group in the Church Hall. A range of activities including games, craft, challenges, and small group time are provided to enhance age- and developmental- appropriate learning and connection for all.
Children will start each service in the church auditorium with the congregation for songs, prayers, videos, communion, and announcements and will move to the hall with their leaders when advised. In 2025 we will continue to follow the same readings and themes as Sunday Worship, learning more about the heart of God, and how to follow him.
Before you or your family attend Sunday School you MUST complete an online enrolment form here
We are also still encouraging households to continue with Faith at Home practices whether they attend weekly Worship and Sunday School or not. Dig in at Home resources that match and complement worship and Sunday School are available at www.emmanueluca.org.au/dig-in-at-home
