Every believer was created to belong to a community. It was never God’s heart for us to do this life alone.
welcome to our church
Cartwright Gospel Chapel is part of an affiliation of independent Christian Churches known as Christian Community Churches of Australia (CCAust). Such churches were previously known as 'Christian or Open Brethren'.
Our church is made up of members from various walks of life, age groups and various ethinicity. The church encourages and shares an environment of love and care for its members and the community we are surrounded by.
CHURCH COMMENCEMENT
In the mid 1960's an elderly couple, Mr & Mrs Rolfe and their son Tim had the heartfelt conviction to commence a church in the suburb of Cartwright that was part of a large newly developed public housing estate located west of Liverpool.
Around that time, another family, Alan & Esme Murray, moved into the area with their family. So, together with a small number of other families, the Rolfe's and Murray's commenced a small church in 1966 known as Cartwright Gospel Chapel which continues to this day.
LEADERSHIP
Following the New Testament model, the leadership of the church does not reside in one person but rather in a small group of men known as Elders. They are currently -
• Theophil Bobby
• Steve Riethmuller

What to Expect
(Learn more about our values and our story as a church by visiting the ‘about us’ page.)
What are your gatherings like?
Typically we sing some Christian songs, pray, worship and focus on Jesus Christ by sharing in the Lord’s Supper (also known as ‘Communion’) and have a message from the Bible.
We passionately believe the Bible to be the Word of God, which has the most amazing message for everyone. As a result, you will find that the messages will be focused on explaining what God is saying in the Bible. Some messages will be topical, but most will be focused on a particular section of the Bible and last for about 25-30 minutes. The whole service usually lasts for about an hour and 15 minutes.
What happens when I visit?
When you arrive and enter our upstairs church hall you will be made to feel most welcome. We will not embarrass you.
What should I bring?
Just bring yourself.
How should I dress?
We are a multicultural church, and as a result those attending come in a variety of dress styles, with most dressed very casually. So please “come as you are”.
Will I be asked to give money?
You will not be expected or asked to give any money to the church. We do not expect visitors to contribute. There will however be an offering bag passed around towards the end of the service where the church’s regular members are given the opportunity, if they wish, to contribute towards the church’s expenses.
Can I invite people to come with?
Please bring your family, and any of your friends along with you. They too will be most welcome.
What if we didn't answer your question?
If you still have some questions, please give one of our church Elders a call (Steve – 0468 630 671 or Bobby 0412 433 313). Otherwise, just turn up one Sunday morning, and have a chat after our Sunday morning service.
