SUNDAY WORSHIP We'd love for you to join us for our weekly Sunday services. You can join us in person. Our live stream is available by request only, by filling out this form here. Past sermons can be found here. 10:00AM Harbour Tea 10:30AM Worship Service CHURCH LOCATION 41B College Street, Gladesville NSW 2111 OFFERING Offering is part of our worship to God. The Bible gives us an enduring principle of tithing of our gross income as the baseline for the Christian’s worship through giving (2 Cor 9:7; Malachi 3:8-10). If every church member gave 10%, we would have enough financial resources for all the gospel ministry God is calling our church to do. Let the Spirit guide you in all final matters. You may give electronically to the account details below: CHILDREN'S MINISTRY Harbour City Church welcomes families with children of all ages to the Sunday worship services. An open creche area and a cry room are provided at the back of the venue for parents to use with their babies and toddlers.

If you have any questions about Children’s Ministry, please contact Gloria or Elder Jacko. GROWTH GROUPS GGs are HCC’s small group ministry.
