Eternity is a friendly, community-focused church in Inner Sydney which values relationship with God and each other. Passionate worship is matched by enthusiastic service in our neighbourhood and the nations. We are part of the Apostolic Church of Australia, a pentecostal movement which developed out of the Welsh revival in 1905.
Eternity's vision/mission
Christian community impacting Sydney and beyond with God's reality is Eternity's vision and mission statement.

Christian community involves sharing our lives with Jesus and one another. Christian community impacts our city because it displays a radically different way to live and embraces people with God's love, whether they identify themselves as within the church or outside it.
In practical terms, community takes different forms at Eternity. It includes the larger corporate gathering of Sunday, small LinC groups of various kinds and the intentional connecting with the lonely or disadvantaged through FamLinC.
All of these work together in a natural, informal, yet dynamic process of relationship and love. A committed member of Eternity could expect to be enthusiastically involved in each of these areas.
