Time & Venue
We meet every Sunday at 10am and we’d love to welcome you this weekend! We gather in the hall at Mt Barker High School, 2 Wellington Rd, Mt Barker, SA. The best entrance and carparking is via Entrance B on Stephenson Street.
Parents with prams, the elderly, disabled permit holders, and others requiring close access, are invited to park in front of the gym. There is plenty of other parking available on the school grounds and over the road adjacent to Keith Stephenson Park.
When You Arrive
At the door to the building, you’ll be greeted by a member of our Welcome Team. They’ll give you a leaflet and a name tag and they might even offer to show you to a seat. We ask for your name and a contact number or email so we can welcome you properly and let you know a little more about our church family.
Coming to Church with Kids?
Trinity Kids is for children aged 3 up to year 6 in school. Kids’ Church children start in the church gathering with their parents and will be invited to leave for their programs at the appropriate time. (You can go with them to get them settled and see where they’ll be). Kids can be signed in before church starts, so they can go straight upstairs with their leaders at the appropriate time. When signing in, parents will be asked to complete a Personal and Medical Information Form for each child as part of our Safe Ministry obligations.
For younger children we have a quiet room near the Trinity Kids rooms where you can withdraw if needed and which has the service streamed in on the screen so you don’t miss out!
During the Service
We sing songs together, listen to someone pray on behalf of the congregation for us, our world and our community and hear a Bible talk, usually given by our Senior Pastor. At Trinity Church Mt Barker our Bible talks step through a passage in the Bible and it is always explained in a way that is relevant and accessible.
Our gatherings last between 60 and 75 minutes. They are shorter at Christmas and Easter. Once a month we share communion. This is when we eat small pieces of bread and drink small individual cups of grape juice to remember Jesus’ death in our place, to forgive our rebellion against God. There is no obligation to participate.
There are kids’ programs for children aged 3 to Year 6 but teenagers (Year 7 and up) stay in the main gathering with the adults where they hear God’s word in a way that is accessible and relevant to them. We also have a quiet room for parents with younger children if they need to withdraw. The service is live streamed in this area.
After the Service
At the end of our service we gather for morning tea and parents are reunited with their children as they return from Kids’ Church.
