See you next week!
If you're looking for a church - Sunshine Coast locals know they will always be welcomed by a friendly face at C3 Powerhouse! We endeavour to be one of the best churches you ever visit for feeling a genuinely warm welcome.
Whether you're a local from Mooloolaba and Maroochydore to Sippy Downs, Caloundra to Namour and beyond, or simply visiting on holiday - we'd love to meet you this Sunday.
Here are some other great ways to help you connect with our church community and learn more about God.
Come to a connect group
We believe churches are much more than a building or Sunday services. It's a community of people doing life together, loving and supporting each other and encouraging each other to know and discover Jesus more and more.
One of the main ways we outwork this value is through our connect groups. During the week, our groups meet in homes and cafes all over Melbourne East. In this smaller group setting, we often share a devotion or message, pray for each other and spend time with friends.
We have groups for all ages and stages of life, so talk to us today about finding a group for you!
Do an alpha course
If you are new to Christianity, you'll likely have a lot of questions! Alpha is a safe space to bring all those questions and find out more about who God is and the Christian faith. The course helps answer questions like, who is God? Who is Jesus Christ? What is the Bible? How do I pray? What happens when I die?
Listen to our messages
Our pastors and preaching team are passionate about making our Sunday messages something that is both powerful and practical for your everyday life. We believe our Sundays together can make for better Mondays, and give you practical keys to walking life close with Jesus Christ.
It is our hope and prayer that every message would leave you feeling encouraged and empowered, and more connected to Jesus. There's teaching from the Bible, and relatable, personal testimonies involved in every sermon.
Our messages are included with our Sunshine Coast location's messages on our YouTube and Spotify channels (make sure you subscribe and leave us a friendly review!).
Connect with us online
We have lots of events and fun things coming up in our Melbourne East church!
The best way to stay up to date with everything that's happening is to follow us on Instagram and Facebook. We regularly post updates about our services and events to make sure you know what's coming up.
We also share lots of content that makes it easy for you to invite and bring your friends and family! You'll find stories of people's experiences coming to church, and the difference it's made in their life and the things we have been doing in our local communities.
What is C3 Powerhouse Melbourne East?
Wondering who we are and where we came from?
C3 is a global movement of churches full of hundreds of thousands of passionate Christians who love and follow Jesus.
C3 Powerhouse is a church that started on the Sunshine Coast in 1992, joining the C3 movement soon after. In 2020, Dan and Ebony Frecker (who were much loved youth pastors at the time) followed God's calling and moved to Melbourne East to start a new church location. Our Sunshine Coast and Melbourne locations are both overseen by our Senior Ministers, Ps John and Danielle Pearce, who lead and pastor us all with a passionate love for Jesus and His people.
Our church's vision is to transform lives. We believe strongly in the gospel message and the love and power of God. We regularly see people receive miracles and healing, discovering freedom, hope, purpose and joy. It is our prayer that you would discover the fullness of life and God's love for you through our church.
Come to C3 Powerhouse Melbourne East this weekend!
We make our church service a fun, inviting and safe space for everyone - old or new. If you've never been to a church service before, we make it a place you can come and experience Jesus, find hope and connect with friendly, down to earth people.
Our praise and worship music is vibrant and contemporary, our messages are practical, and our children have a great time in their programs.
