Who We Are
The Parkville Campus is a local church for the Inner North. Parkville 10am is an all-age congregation for kids and parents, singles and couples, teens and retirees. We’re passionate about growing a loving community for all, sharing the good news of Jesus with our local community, and helping people of all ages grow in understanding Christian faith.
What We Do
Parkville 10am is involved in a range of ministries which seek to support, encourage, and grow all members of our community.
Community
Community
We believe that everyone is a valuable member of God’s church and has a role to play in encouraging and building up others in faith, as well as learning from those who are different from us. We love being a multicultural and multigenerational church. We seek to build purposeful interactions between generations for mutual growth and service, such as kids band, mentoring and ministry opportunities, Leaders in Training (LIT), and All Age services.
Mission
Mission
God sends us on his mission to live and share his good news. We have regular ‘Sharing Hope’ events for training in mission, we hear each other’s ‘Good News Stories’ at church, and seek to be a blessing to our local neighbourhoods as people transformed by the gospel.
Teaching
Teaching
We live in a post-Christian world and are committed to teaching that is biblical, thoughtful and nuanced. We believe that the gospel both challenges and fulfils the desires of our hearts. We therefore seek to engage with topical issues with rigour and sensitivity and allow God’s Word to speak to our whole being — minds, hearts and lives.’
Small Groups
Small Groups
Following Jesus is better together. Small groups are a vital part of our life at St Jude’s, providing a space for deep fellowship and spiritual growth as we eat together, study the Bible and pray for one another. Small groups are gatherings of 8-12 people who meet weekly. These groups are as diverse as our church family, offering a variety of meeting times and locations.
Kids' Ministry
Kids' Ministry
Alongside parents, we want to reach and raise kids to be fully devoted followers of Jesus. At Parkville 10am we have different age groups for kids from creche to year 6. We’ve got fun & engaging learning times where we engage with the Bible, experience God’s love, and wrestle with what it means for each of us to follow Jesus.
Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry
St Jude’s youth ministries seek to journey alongside our young people as they explore faith and work out what it means to follow Jesus as Lord in an ever-complex and changing world.
On Sundays at Parkville 10am our youth, years 7-9, are encouraged to participate fully in church life and listen to the sermon. After the sermon our youth then go out for a discussion time with leaders.
Congregational Lunches
Congregational Lunches
Since the earliest times, Christians have shared food together to express unity and love. We too value our relationships with one another, and we invest time each month in eating together and building cross-generational friendships. All are welcome to join us on the third Sunday of each month for a BBQ Lunch after church (vegetarian and gluten free options available).
Community Outreach
Community Outreach
We seek to bless our local community through a variety of collective initiatives, as well as through our individual work.
We support the Salvos and their foodbank in Brunswick, serving refugees and asylum seekers in the north and west of Melbourne.
We offer support and encouragement to new parents through a playgroup that runs each Tuesday morning during school term.
We are engaged in supporting residents of the Carlton Housing Estate with tutoring through the St Judes Estates Community.
We pray regularly for our local community, our city and our world.
Global Mission
Global Mission
Followers of Jesus are all called to be missionaries, our mission is the proclamation of the gospel to those who don’t know Jesus. Some of us are called to do this on our doorstep in our local communities, others are called to serve in another culture and/or country.
Our global mission partners are supported by our church both in prayer and financially.
