Freshwater Church, Perth

Freshwater Church, Perth We're an evangelical non-denominational church with Baptist roots and a missions heart.

We are Christ-centred, Bible-based, Spirit-led and Gospel-driven, seeking to be flexible in our approach, relational in our dynamic, outward-focussed, keen to mentor and be peace-makers. Our vision is to influence our community, and touch other parts of the world, with the love and hope of Christ.

Since November 2017 (yes, 2017), we have collaborated with Harmony Baptist Church in Mosman Park. The idea is that we are two churches walking together in parallel, with a view to merging. It's gone extremely well for the past year, and we are excited about the developments ahead in 2019.

There is so much beauty and stunning detail in our world. Busyness can so easily rob us of the chance to notice what God has given. The ladies want to invite other ladies to join them in an event designed to increase our appreciation of our world. Friday, 14 October at 7:00pm. Details in the flyer alongside. Great food, good friends, refreshing insight! (Flyer created by Elise Leung.)

Our recent links with Scarborough Baptist Church recently have helped Ian with the weekly preaching load. Matt Hall, the Associate Pastor at SBC, joined us on Sunday, 2 October along with his lovely family. We have been privileged to hear him speak twice now since the arrangement has been put into place. Chad Power, also from Scarborough Baptist, preached in June. (Photo: Matt Hall)

Sunday, 25 September was one of those red-letter days. Mickey Stirrup got baptised, after having made a commitment months ago to following Jesus with his life. Our church gathered at Graham and Jenni's home where we were able to hold our church service for that day, and we were able to use their swimming pool to conduct the ceremony. It was a special moment as Mickey gave credit to Jesus for turning his life around. (The white sheet draped around Mickey as he came up out of the water symbolises his being clothed in the righteousness of Christ.)

For a wonderfully rich 9 days of prayer, worship and ministry at the end of July 2016, we were privileged to host 8 exceptional people from El Paso's Cielo Vista Church in Texas, USA. It was the culmination of a joint venture that got started 15 months earlier when Dr Larry Lamb, the Senior Pastor of Cielo Vista, visited Perth for an IMB conference at which Ian Simms and Chuck Barrett were also present. In an amazingly short space of time, the team endeared themselves to our small church, and they encouraged us immensely in our ministry here in Perth. We are grateful to all the folk at Cielo Vista who made it possible for the team to come out. You were also a part of the wonderful event. Our hosts did a great job of looking after the team and we are grateful for their efforts too. (You'll be pleased to know... all 8 Texans survived the spiders and other creepy-crawlies of our lovely Australia!)

On Sunday, 3 July we were pleased to welcome Ming and Sandy Lai and their family (Lydia, Lynette, Lyssa and Jonathan) from Evangel Christian Fellowship. They came to encourage us and they joined our worship team for the day. What a great time of worship we had together! Ming shared a little of their experience in church planting in the south of Perth.

Through May and June this year, we hosted an Alpha Course that gave 15 people a chance to explore what Christianity was all about. The Alpha DVDs, presented by two Canadian guys, were wonderfully interactive. On one of the weekends we spent the Saturday in the hills of Perth at the bush block owned by Dennis and Jenny Jones, which gave us chance to complete several sessions, and have relaxed conversations about faith and spirituality. Thanks to Graham & Jenni for letting us use their home each week, and to Dennis and Jenny Jones for the use of their home in the hills. Great opportunity, great food, great conversations!

Some activities that I should have posted earlier...Sorry. The competition was fierce at the annual sandcastle-building at City Beach again. The latent engineers in some of the teams came to the fore. Vigorous patching and praying could not prevent the collapse of other sandcastles! Mmm, there's a sermon illustration in there somewhere. (Thanks to Edwin & Sandra for organising the event.)

Our dear friends, Chuck and Alicia Barrett (and Zeb) left for home in the USA after 5 years in Australia as missionaries with the International Mission Board (IMB). Chuck and Alicia came out to Australia at the request of Ian Simms and the team at Mosman Park Baptist Community Church (now known as Harmony Baptist Church) to help with the replanting of that church. In 2014 Harmony Baptist Church was constitued under the umbrella body of the Baptist Churches of Western Australia (BCWA). The Barretts gave themselves to the task with enthusiasm and personality, and they have left the church ready for the next phase of its life. Unexpected changes in the IMB have meant that the Barretts will no longer continue in Australia, as originally planned, but instead they have taken early retirement from the mission agency. It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to them at the airport this morning. Chuck, Alicia and Zeb, we honour you for your magnificent devotion to Jesus. You have been steadfast, even through tears. You return home from the field, having been an inspiration and an encouragement to so many of us, and a great credit to Jesus your Lord. Travel well... and don't forget the sound of the drums!
