FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We are Christian, reformed, evangelical church. What does that mean? It means we’re on about Jesus, and we believe the bible tells us all we need to know Him and live for Him.
Each week, you will hear the bible read and explained, and be encouraged to have it shape and transform you.
We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit, the revelation of God for our world, and It’s our ultimate standard in all matters of faith and practice.
We believe that Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. We are part of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. We think that the best summary of what we believe is found in the Westminster Confession of Faith. You can read the Westminster Confession here.

The name “Presbyterian” church comes from the way we govern ourselves as a church. Our church is led by a group of elders. In the bible elders are called presbyters, hence Presbyterian.

We believe that a church is not a building, or a social club, but it's a community of people who believe in the promises and work of our Lord Jesus, and who gather together around God’s word to be taught, and by God’s power grow together in faith hope and love, and encourage each other in our trust in Jesus.

On Sunday we have three services, where we gather together to sing songs of praise to our God, talk to God in prayer, and hear what the Bible says to us, as the bible is read and taught to us. Each of our services have their own flavour. If you'd like to get a feel for the differences, check out the Sundays at Ann Street page.

At Ann Street, we believe children are a blessing, and we're happy to have you and your baby/toddler join us for the service. We understand that little ones can sometimes be vocal, and that's perfectly alright!
We do have a well-equipped parents' retreat available if you need a quieter space soothe, or play with your little one for a bit, and a separate private room for mother's to feed their babies. Both rooms even have a live stream of the service, so you won't miss a thing! Our friendly welcomers can show you the way.
