Oyster Bay Christian Church

Who are we

 We are a family oriented group of people from many denominational backgrounds...Anglican, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian and Uniting Church to name just a few.
 We are very community minded with activities and interests for the whole family.
 We don't stand too much on ceremonies and traditions but in our casual approach to life we rely on the truths of the Bible and the principles as taught by Jesus Christ.
 We have a fully carpeted, air conditioned church building with a 'sound-quiteted' cry room. There is a well equipped creche and Sunday programmes for children up to High School age.

About our Pastor

 Phil Littlejohn has been the Pastor of this local church for over thirty years. He and his wife Gail have three daughters, Joanne, Karen and Michelle.
 Phil was an engineering surveyor before he became a Christian at the age of 24. He then felt that God was calling him to full time Christian service.
 Phil's aim is to promote a lifestyle that is consistent with the teachings of the Bible and to encourage people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Starlights. A new name but a timeless message

 Now the name better reflects changing times and expectations.
 Whatever it's called, "Starlights" does a power of good for children aged 5 - 12.
 Traditional teaching of Bible stories and moral stories are interspersed with craft and other activities. But the message is always contempory, delivered in a manner relavent to modern times.
 For infants and primary school aged children, "Starlights" is another service provided to the community by the Oyster Bay Christian Church.

Seniors. For those who are young at heart

  "Over 21" Club
 It's not always that easy to stay in touch with community and retirement issues. That's why older residents have spacial needs.
 The Oyster Bay Christian Church "Over 21" Club is a practical forum where senior citizens can hear from speakers on a wide range of topics, as well as enjoy the support and care that comes from local companionship and fellowship.
 As well as talks, there're arts and craft afternoons, as well as plenty of organised shopping trips, outings and bus trips. After all, being old should have it's privileges.

Playtime. A time for moms and bubs

 Raising children these days can be very difficult. Parents need all the help they can muster. Why not share the Load? Every Tuesday morning a small group of parents, usually Mums, (but Dads are most welcome!) meet to have a " cuppa" and allow their children to play in a safe environment with other children.
 It's very informal, and it's good to hear how others cope with the responsibility of raising kids in this day and age. Toys and activities are supplied and everyone finds the two hours enjoyable.
 It doesn't matter if this is your first child or you're very experienced! Meeting with other people who are at the same stage in life is always an advantage. Playtime, another service provided to the community by the Oyster Bay Christian Church.
