OUR PURPOSE
C3 Church Ryde is one of many churches in the C3 movement in Sydney and our vision is to reach and build people for Jesus. We are a church that is modern in practice and traditional in belief. We believe what is summarised in the Nicene and Apostle’s creeds and what mainstream Christian churches accept as foundational to Christian faith.
C3 Church is an international movement of local churches characterised by bright, enthusiastic, culturally relevant services with a message of faith, hope and love. We are planting and building churches where it is easy for people to connect with Jesus and one another. We have people from many church backgrounds, Protestant and Catholic, and also many nationalities. We have mum’s and dad’s, business people, sports people, artists, musicians, doctors, students, and trades people – young, old, single and married, homemakers and company directors. We are a wonderful tapestry of humanity making up a fabulous community that will enlarge and enrich your life – a wonderful mix of people.
We understand the stages of life people experience and adapt to those stages having ministries for kids, youth, young adults, men, women, singles, married couples, small groups, large events, training, C3 Bible College, missions here and overseas and community engagement through our Reach Community Initiatives (RCI). At the heart of the church we have over 50 Connect Groups where people meet to pray, learn and form great relationships.
OUR PRIORITIES
OUR PROCESS
Reaching and building people requires movement. It s a process that begins before someone decides to follow Jesus and continues as they devote themselves to Jesus. The process continues as people begin to recognise the God-dream placed inside them and developing what God has given them to its full potential. There are four movements in our Process:
C3 CHURCH GLOBAL
We are part of C3 Church Global, founded and lead by Phil & Chris Pringle.

C3 Church exists to connect people to God. The church is full of people who have discovered an incredible richness of life that comes from having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Contrary to a view held by many people, God is not dreary, depressed or weak. Rather He is vibrant, joyful and powerful. His presence should always give rise to a sense of excitement and a fullness of spirit.This understanding of God is reflected in the enthusiastic and upbeat nature of our church services. Jesus said that He came to earth that we might have a life of abundance (John 10:10).
Every time we come together to worship God we are celebrating what Jesus has done for us. C3 Church has congregations around the world that are bright, enthusiastic and relevant. Our message is one of faith, hope and love. We have a united vision to build the church by connecting people to God, connecting people to people and also empowering people for effective, joyful service.
