Christmas Offering image

We’re celebrating Jesus’ birthday with a gift to Wollongong Homeless Hub & Housing Services. During our Christmas Eve & Christmas Day Gatherings, we’ll be collecting monetary donations (cash or EFT) for Wollongong Homeless Hub and Housing Services (WHHHS).

Rental prices in the region are still way higher than they were before the pandemic, up by about a third. Overall, property prices have risen by around 4% across the Illawarra.

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 ...

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 ...
