A few things happening at the moment…
Creative night
We’ll be hosting out first creative night on Sunday June 27th. Thanks to those of you who’ve expressed interest in being involved in this, we’ll be in touch soon with more details.
Church Membership
Pete Davies from the Baptist Union had a good little chat with us on Sunday night about the building and the process of becoming a church; the next step is for us to work on a constitution over the next few weeks.
Weekend away
We’re headed to the hunter valley on the weekend of July 30, from Friday night to Monday afternoon. Places are limited so if you’d like to join us, you’ll need to let us know as soon as possible.

Over February 25-27 we’re putting on a forum for Christian ministers on the subject of homosexuality as it relates to pastoral ministry. The aim is to make time and space to hear other people’s experiences, gain an overview of current issues, and participate in a sustained, reflective peer discussion. The forum begins Thursday night and wraps up Saturday lunchtime.

About Us
Imagine is a small church in Darlinghurst, in Sydney Australia. We’re affiliated with the Baptist Union of NSW, and with HopeStreet, an urban compassion ministry. We’re located at
where we have a bar, restaurant and gambling counseling centre, in addition to our church space.
A lot of our organization is fluid and provisional; we’re best defined by what we actually do; and who we are in practice. Hopefully this blog will capture that as time goes by.
What’s Happening
We presently focus a lot of our activity on a commitment to listen, learn and serve, in our community. We’re about creating time and space for you and God to sort each other out to your mutual satisfaction. We don’t have a complex concept of membership or leadership; you’re here or not; you’re involved or not; you’re developing your passions and giftings, or you’re not. There’s something about God you want to share with others, or there isn’t. You needn’t be a Christian to be involved; but we’re about God all the same.
Some of the things we’ll be doing in 2010 include: regular times for prayer, meditation and reflection; occasional weekends away; reading groups for pursuing interests in Christian thought, biblical knowledge and Christian spirituality; a conference on ministry and sexuality in February; a dream lab for entrepreneurs and innovators; supporting the work of HopeStreet with marginalised people in our community, and initiating or boosting worthwhile community initiatives. Each of these ideas has grown out of the passions and gifts of a members of our community.
