Your Spiritual Home
A place for you
Grasslands Church is about authentic relationships with each other, our local community and God. We talk about what's really going on, listen to each other, and connect with God every time we get together. Whoever you are, there's a place for you here.
Why Grasslands?
Brimbank was once covered by ancient grasslands. The average person doesn't think much of grasslands—a bit like the way they don't think much of Melbourne's West.
But if you look just a little closer, you'll find that Brimbank's grasslands are full of life and diversity. The people that call Brimbank home are incredibly diverse too!
Grasslands Church is here to celebrate and serve the unique story of every person with the love of Jesus.
Our Missional Communities
Our beliefs are the same as those of many other Christian churches. What makes us different are our Missional Communities (MCs).
MCs are groups of 8–12 people who intentionally choose to live life together.
Like a healthy family our MCs share the ups and downs of life. We deepen our faith through prayer and by applying the Bible to our daily lives together. We also look for ways to join in Jesus’ mission of love and service within our local community.
MCs are the kind of community you wish you had but often struggle to find.
3 steps to join a Missional Community
You're looking for community
Finding your true path can be difficult. Life can be challenging. Doing it alone makes it impossible. You don't have to go it alone.
There's a place for you here.
Connect with one of our leaders
Get together with one of our community leaders and ask whatever questions you've got. Discover why MCs might be just the thing to help you genuinely connect with God and community.
Take your next steps in community
Living out faith is best done in community. For us, this means joining an MC. You won't get the most out of Grasslands Church unless you join one.
If you're not ready to just yet, you're very welcome to join us on Sundays!
Sundays with Grasslands Church
Our MCs get together every Sunday to worship.
We do most of the things you'd expect from a church service. We sing, we pray and we hear from the Bible.
Genuine connection is important to us so there's usually a time to get into smaller groups and share faith and life too. We know it can feel a little scary, but you don't have to share anything you're not comfortable with.
We love having kids as part of our services. So don't worry if they get a bit restless! There's activities and toys up the back and an optional kids program that runs for during the sermon.
TIME: 9:30am
LOCATION: Building 10, Victoria University (St Albans Campus)
The Alpha Course
Explore life, faith & meaning.
We're all on the journey of discovering what faith and life all mean.
The Alpha Course is a free 8-week course that gives you the opportunity to explore life and faith in a non-judgemental space.
- Connect with a group of people around life and faith over 8 weeks
- Watch talks on the big ideas and issues of the Christian faith
- Ask questions on the topics and hear what other's think.
There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t say or ask (seriously).

Church Planting
The Planting Project.
Communities of faith have been around forever. But not all suburbs or all cultures have ready access to supportive and healthy faith communities.
Grasslands has partnered with Inner West Church to establish a new faith community in Cairnlea. And, by God's grace and a little luck, the hope is to establish other faith communities in the future.
We call this process "church planting" because it's more organic (think gardening) than engineered (think construction). We also recognise that new churches are communities of people first, not buildings.
