All In Together. All In For Jesus.
God has been so generous in the way he has grown our church. After decades of being nomads, we now have some amazing venues to gather in and use for Jesus! Hundreds of people have joined us as they’ve moved here, and hundreds more have decided to follow Jesus with us for the very first time.
God is amazing. And we want to celebrate as a whole church what he is doing and remind ourselves of who we are and what our mission is. HBC All In is going to be just that. Five congregations together for one BIG Sunday service - All in Together. All in for Jesus.
There’s going to be lots of fun on the day. Time to hang out and chat, great snacks, coffee, and lunch, and even a congregation vs congregation soccer game! Greg will be opening the bible with us, we’ll hear a bunch of encouraging stories from around our church family. Not to mention the thought of 1,300+ voices singing joyfully is spine-tingling.

Raising up leaders for Jesus' Kingdom
Get equipped and trained for a lifetime of serving Jesus! Join us for this info night on MTS apprenticeships and Harvest Leadership to explore ministry training and leadership opportunities.
As a church, we’re committed to training up and sending out gospel workers to the world. We're also committed to developing ministry leaders for the Kingdom right here in the Hunter.
MTS (Ministry Training Strategy)
MTS is a two-year, full-time apprenticeship geared for those intending to serve the wider Kingdom beyond Newcastle and Lake Mac. MTS offers rigorous and comprehensive training and guidance under our staff team to prepare gospel workers for leadership roles in ministry.
Harvest Leadership
Harvest Leadership is a part-time volunteer ministry leadership program designed for those planning to stick around Newcastle and Lake Mac long-term. It involves 1:1 mentoring, group training, on-the-ground ministry leadership, and provides invaluable hands-on ministry experience.
Info Session
So, whether you're looking to stay in Newcastle long-term or be sent out to serve the wider Kingdom, there's a program for you to get the training and experience you need.
Join us for this info night on Wednesday 28th May at the HBC Garden Suburb campus to learn more and see under the hood of these programs.
