We're a bunch of ordinary Australians, who mostly live in Hawthorn, but also other suburbs nearby like Richmond, Kew, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, and even further away!

We meet up (nearly) every Sunday at 10.30, but our connection is 'live' all week with small groups, youth group, play groups, friendships, and working together to love and serve our community.

The core of why we get together is our shared interest in and love of Jesus. Everything else is secondary.

HWBC is not a new church, in fact we have been around for nearly a century! We have a hope and dream that all of Melbourne will be renewed by getting to know Jesus, but we're starting with our little part here...

If you've come across church before, you might be a bit surprised by a few things. And maybe more if you never have!

We could spend a lot of time explaining them here, or just invite you to turn up one Sunday.

If you think church should be about being formal, well organised, smooth and professional, we may not be the church for you!

But if the idea of a community that is working on being real, that welcomes the hard questions of life, faith and everything...that acknowledges brokenness and delights in healing and reconciliation, and that is convinced that Jesus is the Answer, the Wisdom, the Truth that our world is longing for - if that appeals to you - then maybe you should come say g'day.
