What to Expect
Now at Divergent, we value transparency and trust so let us be clear, we are not the biggest church by any means in Canberra, all our individual locations have less than a hundred in attendance, and that is intentional. That is also why we come together as ONE Church every month.
Our shape is intentional for community and mission reasons. You can read more about that.
If you visit, here’s what you can expect:
A relaxed, welcoming environment
No pressure, no need to have everything figured out.
Contemporary worship
Modern, engaging music with space to reflect and connect with God.
Biblical, relevant teaching
We take the Bible seriously and communicate it clearly for everyday life.
As it says in Ephesians 2:8 (NIV):
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
A strong sense of community
Church isn’t just a service, it’s people.
