First time?

You’re welcome, exactly as you are!

Box Hill Baptist is an affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive church where there’s no expectation that you’ll look, think, or believe any particular way. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian, spiritually curious, or just seeing what this is all about, you’ll find a genuinely warm welcome here.

Not ready for a full service?

On the last Sunday of every month we host The Last Breakfast — a relaxed gathering over food and conversation with no sermon and no singing. It’s a great low-pressure way to meet people and get a feel for our community before committing to a Sunday morning. Everyone is welcome, no faith background required.

When and where

Sunday services start at 10am at the corner of Station Street and Ellingworth Parade, Box Hill. The main entrance is on the corner! Services run for about an hour, followed by morning tea in The Barn (the building behind the church) — do stay if you can, it’s often the best part!

By public transport, Box Hill Station is a short walk away.

Street parking is available on Ellingworth Parade and surrounding streets, including a multi-story carpark on Harrow St (which is free on Sundays!)

Join in (or not)

Engage with as much or as little of the service as you like. Stand and sing if you want to, or sit quietly and observe — both are completely fine. You won’t look out of place either way.

A few practical things

• Our offering is collected during the service — it’s entirely voluntary
• There’s a cry room at the rear if you or your children need a break — toilets are accessible from there
• The building is fully accessible for wheelchair users and mobility aids
• The only expectation we have is mutual respect — for each other’s experiences, values, and understandings of God

Come and say hello!

If you’d like to know more before visiting, feel free to get in touch — we’d love to hear from you. Or simply turn up on Sunday at 10am. You’ll be glad you did.
