We are a church where people are changed by the life of Jesus through biblical wisdom, a vibrant community, the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing beyond.
Laneway Church is a vibrant, faith-filled community with a heart for Bathurst and beyond. Founded in 2007 as Christian City Church Bathurst, we set out to establish a life-giving church in the heart of the city - one that is biblically grounded, led by the Holy Spirit, and deeply connected to our region. Over the years, God has grown this church into a thriving, welcoming community, and we believe this is just the beginning.
Our vision is simple: Encounter Life.
We are a church where people are changed by the life of Jesus through biblical wisdom, a vibrant community, the Holy Spirit’s presence, and blessing beyond.
We believe that the Bible speaks with power and relevance today, offering ancient wisdom for a modern world through life-related preaching and teaching.
We are a vibrant, diverse community, coming together as ordinary people from many generations and backgrounds, belonging to God’s family.
In all that we do - whether in services, small groups, or our personal time with Jesus - we experience the tangible, life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit.
And as we grow in faith, we are called to share that life with others, helping people know Jesus and experience His generosity both locally and globally.
Laneway Church reflects our heart for transformation - not just within our walls, but in the everyday places where life happens. We believe that Jesus meets us in the ordinary, the overlooked, and the in-between spaces, calling us to bring His light into every part of our city.
We are part of the C3 Church Global movement, standing in faith alongside hundreds of churches worldwide while focusing on what God is doing right here in Bathurst.
Whether you’ve been part of church for years or are exploring faith for the first time, you are welcome here!
We live by our convictions, the core values that make us who we are. The Bible is our guide to life, not only because it is good, but because it is true.

1. There is one God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit;
2. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God; we believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His constant intercession and in His imminent return;
3. In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruit and gifts available in the Church;
4. The Bible as the living word of God - infallible, authoritative and everlasting, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine and faith.
5. In the existence of an evil spiritual being - the devil;
6. In the spiritually lost condition of all people and the essential need for the “new birth” by faith in Jesus Christ;
7. In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to believers, with the normal evidence of speaking in other tongues.
8. In the sacraments of the Lord’s Supper and baptism by full immersion in water for all believers;
9. In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting separation from God;
10. In the church being the body of Christ, and each member being an active part of a local church, fulfilling the Great Commission.
11. Marriage was instituted by God, ratified by Jesus, and is exclusively between a man and a woman. It is a picture of Christ and His church.
12. Sex is a gift from God for procreation and unity, and it is only appropriate within and designed for marriage.
