NewHope hosts a worship service every Sunday at 10am and 5pm. We encourage you to connect in one of three ways:
Connect Online.
Connect in Homes.
Connect In-Person.
Connect In-Person.
Sundays 10am and 5pm
Be part of the in-person experience at 3 Springfield Rd, Blackburn North. Due to the current COVID-19 gathering restrictions there are two things you must do before attending:
1. Register Online
We must limit the number of individuals in our building at any time. This limit is set by the DHHS. In order to make sure we don’t exceed this limit, everyone attending church in person must register beforehand.
Registrations for each service are made available 7 days before the service. We do not have a waiting list so please be respectful of others who also want to attend.
2. Check-In
Once you arrive at church, you must check-in using the Church Online platform. You can do this in one of two ways:
- Via the Church Centre App on your smart phone
- In person with a member of the connect team
We strongly encourage everyone to download the Church Centre app before attending church to allow them to check in quickly and safely.

Worship Online Together.
We can’t always meet together in one place, but wherever we do meet we know Jesus will be with us. Our online worship services are designed to be watched together, either in small groups or by yourself.
If you’d like to be in the service, we are looking for people to record the bible reading at home. If you’re interested, please register your name here.
Online Chat.
During our online services, our Online Hosting team will be available to chat with you to answer your questions, connect you with other ministries at NewHope and pray with you. To participate in the online chat, you need to have a YouTube or Google account.
If you would like to speak with someone outside of the service times, please contact the church office.
