Finding Focus image

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 ...

Who Are We? image

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 ...

The Best Gift image

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 ...

Celebrating SaltFest 2024 image

October 11-19th It was so great to host SaltFest again! Praise God for his work in Wollongong…   Meet the Maker: Stray Willow was a haven of self-care and luxury. Between the beautiful, personalised eye pillows, car fresheners, and perfumes; delicious desserts, and great company it was a great time to get know each other surrounded by the wonderful scents of the product-making-process!     Homebrewing 101 was a phenomenal learning experience with Sam as our in-house homebrewing expert.

1 John: That You May Know image

Let’s Take a Deep Dive Into 1 John At Salt Church, we want to be growing in maturity as disciples of Jesus, and we believe this is what God desires for our lives. We’re committed to digging deep into God’s word within our community to help us mature as a church. Why 1 John? The book of 1 John is a powerful reminder that if we trust in Jesus, we genuinely know God and have eternal life. John wrote this letter to provide assurance to his first audience, who were facing doubts due to persecution and the departure of some believers from their community. Just as they faced challenges, we too can find our confidence wavering in a world that ...
