Sunday Services
No matter your story... come and discover hope and life in Jesus.
We'd love you to join us at our 10am Sunday services!
Everyone is welcome at Dandenong Presbyterian Church. Whether you're exploring Christianity for the first time, looking for a church to call home, returning to church after many years away, or simply curious about what Christians believe, we'd love to meet you.
There is no dress code—just come as you are and wear whatever you feel comfortable in.
Our Sunday service begins at 10:00 AM and usually finishes around 11:15 AM. Together we sing songs of praise, ranging from traditional hymns to contemporary Christian songs. We spend time hearing God speaking from reading and learning from the Bible, praying together, encouraging one another, and focusing on the good news of Jesus Christ.
Each week we also hear about the global church and missions through our regular Mission Spot, helping us stay connected with God's work both locally and around the world.
On the first Sunday of the month, we share in the the Lord’s supper to remember and celebrate Jesus’ death for us. We welcome those who love the Lord Jesus Christ, have a public profession of faith and are members in good standing of this or another congregation to join in this celebration. Children are encouraged to watch the wider church family during this time, and we for that day, when they can, along with the church family, partake in the Lord’s Supper.
After the service, everyone is invited to stay for morning tea. It's a relaxed opportunity to enjoy a cuppa, grab something to eat, meet new people, and get to know our church family.
No matter your story, you'll find a warm welcome here. We hope to see you this Sunday!
Children at Dandenong
Children are an important part of our church family. Our prayer is that our children would know, love and live for King Jesus. Sunday Services are not just for the "big" kids. God loves the "little" kids as well and they are invited to worship Him.
Here at Dandenong Presbyterian Church, children are part of the church family and so we encourage parents, and children to worship together. Although some churches may have Sunday School or a kids talk during the service, we have our Sunday School after the service during the morning tea.
Since children remain in the service with their parents, they are encouraged worship as a family and to engage together with the service. Children are invited to sing along, to pray with us, to listen carefully to the bible and God's word preached. Although some parts of the service may seem only for the "big" kids, parents are encouraged to talk with their children about each segment of the service.
We provide an activity booklet with a pencil case for children to use during the service. It includes activities related to the sermon and helps children engage with the service.
Full transcripts are normally provided for the older kids who can read and want to follow along.
We have a small cry room available to settle children, and we have a church culture that encourages and supports parents as they raise their children. We LOVE the little voices and so please don't feel embarrassed if you feel like your children are making a lot of noise!
After the service, young children are encouraged to join our short Sunday School program during morning tea. It is an opportunity for parents to grab a cuppa and engage with other members of the congregation while our volunteers provide an opportunity to grow in faith as they learn about Jesus through the Bible.
All leaders and volunteers adhere to the Presbyterian Church of Victoria’s Safe Church Policy and hold a valid Working With Children Check.
