St Paul's is building for the future!
About the project
What's happening now
Praise God! With 194 people signed up and 150 hosts, 344 of us will gather in homes to hear the Building for Generations vision, ask questions and pray.
If you haven’t signed up, this is the week. Chats run in Mandarin and English until mid-October, with food, a short video and plenty of time for questions and prayer.
The shovel stays wrapped until Term 4. For now, we’re listening and praying together.
God is bringing more people to Carlingford. What we decide this year is for generations we may never meet. What a privilege to be part of it.

St Paul's is building for the future!
We’re investing in the ministry infrastructure that will serve our community for generations to come.
What God is doing at St Paul's
God is at work at St Paul’s: children’s ministries are thriving, youth groups reach over 120 teenagers weekly, and mid-week programs connect with our growing community.
With Parramatta LGA set to grow by 75% over the next 20 years, our current facilities are stretched beyond capacity.
The need
Our children and youth need purpose-built spaces, and staff work in outdated temporary facilities.
Phase 2 of the North Hall project gives us the chance to create spaces that welcome, disciple and support the people God is bringing to us for the next 50 years.
The moment
Just as previous generations built the sandstone church, the current site and the North Hall, we now have the privilege to invest in the future. Faithful stewardship means creating space for growth and ministry opportunities God is placing before us.
“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4
Project plans
The Ministry Centre will provide purpose-built children’s and youth spaces, including dedicated rooms for different age groups and proper amenities for pre-schoolers.
Youth spaces will enable both large gatherings and small cohort-based groups, allowing Salt Youth to meet together and then split into year- and gender-based small groups.
A smaller part of this project is that modern staff facilities will replace our 50-year-old building and temporary structures.
