Welcome to St Luke's St Luke’s Roseville is a friendly welcoming church. We like to think of ourselves as a family – and that we are “building a family for Jesus.” Roseville Presbyterian Church is home to a Christian community who seek to serve Jesus Christ as Lord in our daily lives. We strive to be Christ centred, Bible believing and gospel focused. We are young and old, from all walks of life, and welcome any visitors, aiming to be a supportive and encouraging Christian family to all those who come to us. We have most of the usual activities you might associate with a Christian Church. We have Worship Services, a Sunday School, a new after-school Kid’s Club commencing, the Refuel youth group, men’s group, fellowship activities and studies. Our Minister Graham Spence, Youth Minister Daniel Perrott and our Elders are very approachable, and desire to bring the whole counsel of God to you and the community. You can learn something of our history, denominational affiliation, beliefs and practices on other pages. At Roseville we are traditional in some ways and contemporary in others and that is one of our strengths. We can be described as Reformed Evangelical – that is we believe the Bible to be the Word of God and relevant to our lives. We are desirous of growing in our faith together. We have a great concern to share the good news that Jesus is Lord and that life, salvation, acceptance, a relationship with God and a promised home in heaven is found through trusting and following Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Our beliefs can be described generally in terms of the historic creeds, and more specifically in the way our denomination understands the Westminster Confess of Faith which is often described as ‘Calvinistic’ or ‘Reformed.’ Daniel Perrott joined the team in early 2007 as Youth Minister. Both Graham and Dan are working to develop a strong Bible based and a Gospel preaching ministry reaching out to the community. We welcome all to share with us in our Worship Services and other activities. You can contact us first by phone or email, or just come along. Either way you are very welcome. Our aim is

INTRODUCTIONWe are part of Christ's wider universal Church throughout the world. We are constitutionally part of the Presbyterian Church of Australia and linked with the historical work of the Holy Spirit in the reformation of the Church of Scotland in the sixteenth century led by John Knox, the founder of Presbyterianism. In Australia we can trace our beginnings to the banks of the Hawkesbury River near Sydney in 1803. The Supreme Standard of the Church is the Word of God contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The Subordinate Standard of the Church is the Westminster Confession of Faith read in light of the Declaratory Statement. The word "Presbyterian" refers to the manner in which the Church organises itself. The Australian Macquarie Dictionary defines the term; "Church government by presbyters, or elders who are equal in rank, consisting of ministers (teaching elders) and layman (ruling elders)." Congregations are under the jurisdiction of a Presbytery to which they belong in their district. We proclaim the Gospel of God and serve the community through local Church Congregations and Home Mission Stations, Evangelism, Theological and Christian Education, Schools, Nursing Homes, Hostels and other Aged Care Ministries, Youth Work, Child and Family Services, Counselling, University Work, Presbyterian Women's Association, Chaplains, and other specific ministries. The
Presbyterian Church of
Australia is a part of the Christian Church throughout the world. The
Church’s name comes from the Greek word presbuteros, which is the word
for an elder or a mature Christian leader in the New Testament. The use
of the name Presbyterian reflects the Church’s aim to be faithful to
the Bible’s teaching on the Church, even in the 21st Century. In its
wider use, the name Presbyterian has also come to include the
distinctive doctrine, discipline, worship, laws and practice of the
churches which returned to Biblical standards in Europe at the time
known as the Reformation. http://www.presbyterian.org.au/the_pca_doc_index.htm
