WHAT'S ON
CSU RES FRIDAY NIGHT BBQ - 5.30PM
We partner with CSU Port Macquarie to run a sausage sizzle Friday nights. Want to serve with us?
Let's talk.
DISCIPLING AND MENTORING
Our core heart is to make "all in disciples devoted to his kingdom" (yes, we also think that is a slightly awkward sentence ;). For more information on our mission and culture as a Church check out a blog by one of our key leaders here.
Our community is shaped around five key focuses drawn from Ephesians 4.
These being Missional, Relational, Biblical, Supernatural and Global.
We believe that the best form for a community follows solid clear Biblical focuses.
NEW GRAD?
Have a heart for the next generation?
Don't bag them. Give them a hand.
If you're newly graduated, come alongside us as we connect with students working out their next steps - add a bit of family, fun and faith. Not only are we serving students in Port Macquarie, but our church is connected to students at ANU and UC in Canberra.
RED FROGS
Safeguarding a generation. We serve with Red Frogs alongside other churches to provide a positive peer presence in alcohol-fuelled environments where young people gather; educate young people on safe partying behaviours; and promote alcohol-free and/or diversionary activities that engage young people in these environments.
Understanding Divergent Church Port Macquarie
OUR MISSION
"All in Disciples devoted to his Kingdom come"
Our focus at Divergent Church Port Macquarie is not on providing numerous consumer-driven programs nor competing against the entertainment industry. Our pursuit is to help people become disciples who reflect Christ and dedicate themselves completely to His Kingdom.

OUR MISSION – Learn about Divergent Church Port Macquarie and Its Mission.
OUR SHAPE
Divergent Church Port Macquarie is
“ONE Church, expressing ourself in community and mission in multiplying community based and focused churches”
The basis for our church doctrine (ecclesiology) comes from the biblical and historical practice of multiple local communities gathering consistently to create a unified Church within a specific city or region instead of depending on a single-cell model for local churches. God perceives a single Church in the Canberra region that exists beyond denominational divisions.
Studies reveal that church planting reaches its fullest potential when it creates multiplying local community churches that maintain interdependent connections instead of creating fully independent congregations.
For a deeper dive into our commitment to a movement-oriented church model, check out this blog by Josh.
The article titled "Movement or Monument" explores the structure and purpose of Divergent Church Canberra.
