NORTH GEELONG PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

We believe we are called to live out the Great Commandments as we go about the Great Commission - making disciples who make disciples.

WORSHIP at NGPC

9:30 am each Sunday.

From November 29, NGPC will be worshipping at our building but all services are ticketed to ensure compliance with government regulations.

NGPC CULTURE

disciples making disciples

If you're looking for a church that makes no apology for being passionate about the gospel you may want to visit us. If you're looking to learn more about that one weekend in Jerusalem 2000 years ago where a Jew was crucified on a Thursday and rose again on Sunday, then please join us, we know him well and worship him all the time. If you're looking for truth, you have come to the right place, because we know the one who said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life..."

If you attend NGPC, it is expected that you will commit to growing in your faith, as we do mission together as His disciples. At NGPC we believe we are called to live the Great Commandments as we go about the Great Commission - disciples making disciples.

Daniel Combridge
