Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ." - 1 Corinthians 12:12 NIV
Are you ready to make HumeRidge “your Church”? If so we want to hear your story, answer any questions you have and help you find a place to fit within our HumeRidge family.
We hold a Welcome Morning Tea once each term after a Sunday service. They are a time for you to come along and hear a little about the history of our Church, what we believe and the areas of ministry we are involved in. It will also be a place where you can chat to our pastors and elders and ask any questions you may have, as well as enquire about different areas in the life of the Church that you might be interested in getting involved in. Around two weeks after this Welcome Morning Tea we hold a Membership Information Session after the Sunday service, which is a time for those who are ready to make HumeRidge their home Church to complete an application for membership.
