Churches of Christ - Who Are We?

Our Church is affiliated with Churches of Christ in Australia and is part of a world-wide movement of churches meeting under the name of Church of Christ/Christian Church/Disciples of Christ. There are 450 congregations in Australia.

The Magill Church of Christ commenced in 1952 - originally known as the Koongarra Park Church of Christ.

As Churches of Christ, we believe Jesus Christ is the son of the living God who offers saving grace to all.

Our 'community of faith' is an inclusive fellowship. We cooperate with other Christians in worship, witness and service. We promote the unity of all God's people. We are committed to the goal of unity among all Christians [John 17:21].

We practise 'open communion' every Sunday inviting all who believe in Jesus Christ to share in the Lord's Supper.

We affirm the 'ministry of all believers', so you will find members of the Church leading our worship. We practice 'congregational autonomy', making our decisions as a congregation about our life and witness, our ministries and our mission.

Following the pattern of the early Church, we practise believer's baptism by immersion as an expression of a person's conversion and commitment to Jesus Christ. We also welcome into the fellowship and life of the Church those who have held membership with other denominations of the Christian Church.
