Work—it fills most of our week, we let it shape much of our identity, and yet, for many of us, it still feels confusing. Is it just about paying the bills? Chasing a dream? Doing something that matters? Whether you’re climbing the ladder, clock-watching till Friday, or figuring out what’s next, chances are you’ve asked: Why do I work? Starting Sunday, 4 May, join us for our new 4-week series: “Thank God It’s Monday – The How & Why of Work.” We’ll be exploring what God says about work—how He sees it, what He wants for us in it, and how we can honour Him whether we’re behind a desk, at home, in the classroom, on the tools, or between ...

Easter isn’t just another holiday. It’s the best news Wollongong could ever hear. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the truth that shapes our lives, fills us with hope, and gives us a reason to celebrate. So we want to make the most of this moment—by gathering together, inviting others in, and celebrating what Jesus has done. Here’s what Easter at Salt Church will look like: Good Friday | 18 April – 9:00 am only We’ll gather at 9:00 am to reflect on ...

Finding Focus for 2025: A Vision for the Year Ahead As we begin a new year, it feels like the perfect time for each of us to take a step back to focus on what matters most. For those of us at Salt Church, this means centring our lives around God’s purposes for us in 2025, and beyond! In previous years, we’ve held a Vision Sunday at the end of January to kickstart the year and recalibrate our hearts and minds for what God wants to accomplish through us. However, this year we’re doing something a little different. For 2025, we’re expanding Vision Sunday into a four-week series, and we couldn’t be more excited to walk through this with our ...

With 8 billion people on the planet, you’d think we’d agree on who we are and why we’re here. But these days even basic questions of human identity and morality are up for debate. So, we’re going to dive into two fundamental questions, seeking answers that we believe only God can provide. 12 January 2025: Who Are We? Accidents or Designed? We all love an origin story—because where we came from shapes who we are. But is life the result of random chance, or are we intentionally designed by God? 19 January 2025: Who Are We? Mostly Good or Mostly Bad? Many people say humans are basically good, but that doesn’t match what we see in the world or even ...

As we enter the final stretch toward Christmas, it’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the season. The online sales, the crowds at the shops, the pressure of planning the perfect food to share, the stress of finding just the right gift—it can all overwhelm us. And, amid all of this, it’s easy to lose sight of what makes Christmas truly special. Christmas isn’t just about the presents, the food, or even the family gatherings. It’s about celebrating God’s good gifts: His provision, His people, and, ultimately, the greatest gift He gave to us—Jesus Christ. This Christmas, let’s make a conscious effort to give thanks for the blessings we often take for granted, and to remember ...
