It’s Newcastle! Dress like you would at the shops. Talk like you would at home. We really want you to forget about what other people think and simply engage with God’s word in the Bible.

There is ample parking at our Garden Suburb campus and on the street around our City venue. As you drive in you will see signs telling you you’re at the right place and where you can park.

As you walk into the venue, there will usually be a few friendly faces at the door who will say hello and let you know you’re in the right place!
There’s usually time to grab a free coffee or some light refreshments before the meeting starts.
When the meeting starts, feel free to sit anywhere you feel comfortable. There is no assigned seating.

It will look a little differently depending on which Christmas service you attend.
But we typically sing some carols about Jesus, read a part of the Bible, and hear a short talk on the meaning of Christmas.
If you don’t have a bible, that’s completely fine! You can either just listen along, or you can follow along using an online Bible (like this one!)
-
During our meetings, we take the opportunity to celebrate how God has been merciful to us by standing and singing together.
You don’t have to sing if you don’t want to. You’re very welcome to just sit or stand and listen to the words.
-
Our meetings usually go for about an hour. At the end of the meeting we’ll enjoy some Christmas treats, tea and coffee.
We’d love for you to stick around and meet some people. Folks will usually hang around and chat with each other for a little while after the meeting.
-
Yes, of course you can! We have people from many different denominational backgrounds who call our church home.
We are all about Jesus, and we want to welcome you!

The simple answer is that we’re all about Jesus here at Hunter Bible Church. The Jesus revealed to us in the pages of God’s written Word; the Bible.
