Public launch for evangelical church
An evangelical church will be started on the Peninsula at a public launch at Brisbane Water Secondary College, Woy Woy campus, on Sunday, August 28, from 9:30am.
The Central Coast Evangelical Church, known as EV Church, was starting the new church after 15 years on the Central Coast.
Pastor Greg Masters said he saw the Peninsula as an amazing area to bring up his own young family, connect with the community and bring solid hope to people for this life and the one to come.
"Church is not about going to some building on a Sunday nor is it just a club or something people like to do.
"It is about living throughout the week as a community of gracious and forgiving people who are convinced that the God of the Bible offers more than just an alternative way to live.
"He offers us real eternal life.
"We're not here to give people a nice set of principles to live by, but to help everyone on the Peninsula live in the freedom that comes from God's unconditional love as seen in Jesus.
"Many people have been working very hard for and are so excited about this launch," he said.
EVKids will be available on the day for children from six months to year six.
