We are Refinery
And we are not the same without you!
Six weeks ago, when we launched The Refinery Christian Church Sydney, we talked about the importance of “putting joy on your calendar!”
Well… we took our own advice — and it led us straight to Luna Park! 🎡🎉
Let’s just say we definitely saw a different side of Lead Pastor Gavin — turns out, he’s just a big kid at heart! 😄
We’re serious about creating a church culture where joy isn’t just a feeling — it’s a practice.
So… when’s the last time you put joy on your calendar?
Extreme Makeover. The Biggest Loser. 10 Years Younger.
All reality shows about transformation—on the outside.
But if you’re looking for someone who truly transformed from the inside out—Matthew is your guy.
Join us over the next few weeks as we dig deep into the life of Matthew and his Gospel. We’ll explore why his message is more relevant in 2025 than ever before.
Because here’s the truth: anybody can change.
It’s time we all started “gettin it”.

What is a Life Group?
At The Refinery Christian Church Sydney, we believe that Jesus’s methods are methods that we should follow. Jesus made meeting with people and being in intentional relationships with them a priority. It was life-on-life, face-to-face ministry.
As a new church in the western suburbs of Sydney, one of our initial priorities is to meet people, make connections, and form Life Groups. Life Groups will meet in peoples’ homes and cafés, or whatever works best for the participants. Groups will take time to get to know each other; to share in the joys and challenge of life as they study God’s word and grow in relationship with each other and with Jesus.

1st pic: City 2 Surf 1987 (we think?!) It's a bit like "Where's Wally's?" but can you spot Pastor Gavin crossing the finishing line?!
It may have been a few years since our last City 2 Surf, but it doesn't make us any less ready to strap the trainers on and give it a go on August 10th!
As part of our commitment to serve others, The Refinery Christian Church will be running at the City 2 Surf on the 10th August to support the Wayside Chapel in their campaign to help the homeless.
Please see the link in the bio if you would like to donate!
Countdown is on people!
