We are committed to reaching our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Bible.
Our Mission
Our church family loves the word of God – the Bible. For this reason one of our core convictions is to prayerfully preach and teach the Bible at every opportunity. This is something that happens across all our ministries and, in particular, each Sunday as we open God’s word and hear the gospel of Jesus faithfully preached.
It is our delight and joy to not only preach and teach this gospel, but also live it. Although we are far from perfect, God gifted us with Jesus Christ, who is the perfect example for us to follow. We seek to show Jesus through fellowship, practical care, hospitality, nurturing, and encouragement. On a firm foundation of prayer, teaching, and fellowship, we will share the love of God to a needy world.
Our History
The Presbyterian Church in Mackay has existed for over 120 years.
With the formation of the Uniting Church of Australia in 1977, those who chose to remain as Presbyterians received the land and the building on Cnr Evans Avenue and Harvey Street, Mackay. Over the years, the property was renovated to meet the needs of the Mackay congregation.
In 1986, additional land was purchased on Beach Road, Sarina to serve the growing community. An old school building was relocated to the site in 1987 and refurbished to become the Sarina congregation of the Mackay Presbyterian Church.
