A small church with a big heart for Sydney
Friends Church International exists to share the love of Christ through worship, friendship and practical care — in Wentworth Point, across Sydney, and among communities overseas.
Our history & vision
Friends Church International began as a small fellowship of believers with a simple dream: a church where friendship is our middle name, and no one in our community is left behind.
On 17 December 2019 we were formally registered as a charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). Since then, our weekly meetings and annual retreats have grown into a wider ministry of care — supporting families, people facing financial hardship, people at risk of or experiencing homelessness, people with disability, and those looking for work.
Our vision is a church that reflects the hospitality of Jesus: tables with room for everyone, hands ready to help, and hearts open to our neighbours locally and globally.
Registered, accountable, transparent
As an ACNC registered charity we meet Australian governance standards and report annually on our finances and activities.
