The Tailrace Church

The Tailrace Church Faith becoming real in everyday life.
📍 Tailrace Centre, Launceston�1 Waterfront Drive, Riverside
đź•™ Sundays at 10am
You’re welcome here.

At it's core, Tailrace Community is a bunch of people like we read about in Acts 2 who have a faith that is vibrant and healthy, with hearts that want to love of their community. Tailrace Community is a group of people who enjoy being with each other and who put their faith into action in a multitude of ways so that people will know that they matter to them and that hype matter to God.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what’s real anymore. It can be very disorientating.

Against which the church’s voice of authenticity matters.

There are times when I finish preaching and think: “that wasn’t my best. It wasn’t very polished. I struggled to get that point across and I get a little lost”.

And sometimes we sing the wrong words or have awkward transitions.

That doesn’t mean we stop bringing our best. We prepare. We care. We give what we have. We try and improve and offer God our best as worship.

But we aren’t interested in creating a performance that hides our humanity.

The truth is God has always, and will always, work through ordinary people.
His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

Which is why as a church we value people over systems, authenticity over performance and faithfulness over a worldly picture of “success”.

So in an age where the line between artificial and real is increasingly blurred… our community aspire to be unapologetically human, authentic and genuine. Mistakes and all.

If you’re searching for something real to ground you, you’re welcome to come and journey with us.

These photos capture some of our incredible youth leaders serving together at summer camp.

And in many ways, they reflect something bigger that we’re seeking to grow as a church.

One of the shifts we feel the Church is being invited into is moving from program to shared life.

The Sunday gathering matters. But church doesn’t begin at 10am and end at 11:15am.

It looks like arriving early for prayer.
Lingering over coffee and conversation.
Opening Scripture together around a table.
Praying for one another.
Sharing a meal.
Heading to the park together.
Walking alongside each other through the ordinary moments of life.

When faith becomes something we share together—not just something we attend—it starts to feel more real, more connected, and more life-giving.

That’s the kind of community we’re seeking to grow together.

I wonder what God might be saying to us as we gather tomorrow.

Come and find out with us. We’d love to see you.

Grab a coffee from the cafe before the service begins at 10am.

We love Tassie.

Recently, Gordon Ramsay called Tasmania one of the best food and wine destinations in the world.

Which sounds perfectly good to us.

Eating and feasting are part of our DNA.

Scripture describes God’s plan — at the beginning and at the end — like a feast.

And time and again, we see the same pattern: people gathering around tables, eating together, making room for one another.

Maybe that’s part of why we feel so grateful to live here.

In a place known for hospitality, produce, conversation, and shared meals, we get to live out something deeply woven through the story of Scripture.

Honestly, how good is that?

Over the past few weeks at Tailrace, we’ve been exploring a way of life that is shaping us as a community.

A shared rhythm of life with Jesus.
Learning to live awake to the presence of God.
Formed by Jesus.
Sent into the world.

Here are some of the quotes that stayed with us throughout the series:
- “He calls, I walk.”

- “He wants us to have an intimate relationship — Him with us and us with Him.”

- “Our personal participation does not equal a private pathway.”

- “The church is the school of resurrection.”

- “Christianity is not just a classroom or a theory. It becomes embodied.”

- “It is not a terrible obligation. But a beautiful invitation.”

- “The challenge is attentiveness.”

- “Resurrection life is learning to live awake to the presence of God.”

Have you ever been with people close to you, and the joy, depth, and richness of the moment felt bigger than what the modern world can explain?

Like there’s something more going on here than just biology.
Something deeper than chemistry and survival.

Something meaningful.
Something beautiful.
Something worth paying attention to.

Faith begins there for many people — not with certainty, but with wonder.

That’s part of why we gather each week. To explore the deeper story of life together, and to make space for faith to become real in everyday life.

If you’ve felt disenchanted by the stories our culture offers, you’re welcome to come and explore another way with us.

Service begins at 10am and finishes just after 11.
All are welcome.

Thankfully there is hope for the restless angst so many of us feel.

We don’t have all the answers. But we are on a journey of becoming more whole. And little by little, we are seeing good things happen.

You’re welcome come and join us on this pursuit.
