Ordinary People saved by an Extraordinary Saviour
A Presbyterian Church in Dandenong committed to knowing, loving and living for King Jesus
Welcome:
Welcome to Dandenong Presbyterian Church. We are an evangelical Christian church located in the heart of Dandenong, gathering each Sunday at 10 AM at the corner of Potter Street and Birdwood
Avenue. Whether you have been a Christian for many years, are exploring the Christian faith for the first time, or are simply looking for a church to call home, you are warmly welcome.
At the centre of everything we do is Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus is not merely a figure from history, but the Son of God who lived, died, and rose again to bring forgiveness, hope, and eternal life to all who trust in Him. This good news shapes our lives, our Sunday gathering, our teaching, our fellowship, and our mission.
We are an ordinary group of people from different ages and backgrounds who have found extraordinary grace in Jesus. We would love the opportunity to meet you and help you discover the hope and joy found in Him.
Our Mission:
We exist to see Dandenong and beyond transformed by the gospel as we make disciples of all nations and ages who joyfully know, love, and live for King Jesus.
As you can imagine, that is a big mission! It can only be accomplished by God's grace and through the power of the gospel.
To help us do this, we seek to live out a number of core values that guide our ministry, shape our culture, and help us remain faithful to the mission Christ has given His church.
1
Jesus at the Centre
It's all about Jesus.
Everything we do is centred on the Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to honour Him in our worship, our relationships, our ministry, and our daily lives. We want Christ to be exalted in everything because He is Lord of the church and the hope of the world.
(Colossians 1:18; Philippians 1:21)
2
Gospel clarity
The gospel changes everything.
The good news of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection is our hope and our message. We are committed to proclaiming the gospel clearly, faithfully, and boldly so that people may come to know, love, and live for King Jesus.
(Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
3
Word-based ministry
The Bible shapes all we do.
Because we believe that God's Word (the Bible) is our final authority for faith and life, we want every area of ministry to be shaped by Scripture. Through His Word, God saves, grows, equips, and transforms His people.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12)
4
Love-shaped community
Growing together in Christ.
We strive to be a loving church family for people of every age, stage, and background. As we follow Jesus together, we seek to encourage one another, bear one another's burdens, and display the love of Christ in practical ways.
(John 13:34-35; Galatians 6:2)
5
Mission and evangelism
Sent to make disciples.
Jesus has called His church to make disciples of all nations. We want to be a church that shares the gospel, serves our community, supports local & global mission, and seeks opportunities to point people to Christ. We are committed to equipping every man, woman and child for the work of ministry and raising up gospel workers to serve in the areas that God has placed them.
(Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)
6
Eternity focused
Living for what lasts.
We live with our eyes fixed on eternity. Because Christ will return and His kingdom will endure forever, we seek to invest our lives in things that have eternal value and encourage one another to persevere in faith by trusting in the loving-kindness and grace of God every step of the way.
(Colossians 3:1-4; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
