GLEBE
COMMUNITY CHURCH

In 1993 a church planting project began in the public housing estate. From this project grew the current Glebe Community Church congregation (GCC). GCC consists almost exclusively of people from the Glebe public housing estate whose lives have often been marked by illness, disability or addiction. About fifteen regularly attend Sunday services. The congregation is structurally still a project of HopeStreet, though it has it’s own leadership and largely determines it’s own direction. The members of this small congregation are but the inner circle of a much wider community work which includes an Op Shop and HaveAChat Cafe- both staffed largely by local volunteers, regular free and subsidized food distribution network, Bible study and discussion groups, community Art Classes, pastoral care and support for a large number of elderly and disabled residents and a growing sense of community amongst people with intellectual disability.

From the earliest days of GCC it was agreed that the public housing estate was the area in which we are called to work. This aim is not to exclude others, but to give direction to the ministry activities that are undertaken.

Increasingly young volunteers from other churches, both inside and outside Glebe are offering assistance in running projects, attending church and joining to provide support for the church and community. We also maintain a friendly relationship with all the other churches in Glebe as we work alongside each other sharing God's love with the people of Glebe and the surrounding suburbs.
