MEMBERS UPDATE - AUGUST 2026

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…"
EPHESIANS 3:20-21
There are signs that God is doing something "immeasurably more" than we could ask or imagine among us at DC. People are coming. People are meeting Jesus. Last weekend we celebrated three baptisms. And now, because we’ve outgrown Cinema 3, we’re preparing to make the move into VMAX.

But are we ready for what God might do next? 
More / Less
Are we ready to make room? To serve? To welcome people we don’t know yet? To step into something that might stretch us? To keep following Jesus even when it would be easier to stay comfortable?

Paul finishes the above prayer with: “to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations.” (Eph 3:21)

That’s what we want because growth and bigger rooms are not the point - we want to be a church ready and willing to respond to whatever God chooses to do among us. Because if God really is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine, perhaps the question for us is:

Are we ready to make room for it?

CELEBRATE

Three Baptisms!

What a joy to celebrate Josh Kohunui, Jean Pangilinan and Eric Graham publicly declaring their faith in Jesus through baptism last weekend.
More / Less
Baptism is a beautiful picture of being united with Jesus in his death and resurrection - leaving the old life behind and walking in new life with him.

Please join us in thanking God for Josh, Jean and Eric, and in praying that they will keep growing in Christ as part of his church.

HELP PEOPLE FIND DC

Before they visit DC, they Google us.

Research shows that long before someone visits a Sunday Service, they Google "church near me".

This means that one of the simplest ways you can help people find our church is by leaving an honest Google review about your experience of life at DC. If you genuinely call DC home, would you take a moment to help someone who may be wondering whether to visit?

LAST SERVICE IN CINEMA 3

Thank you, Cinema 3.

When DC first moved into Cinema 3 just over 2 years ago, we couldn't have known everything God would do in this space. We've worshipped, prayed, preached, welcomed new people, baptised believers and watched our church family grow here.

23 August will be our final Sunday service in Cinema 3.

Outgrowing this room is worth celebrating. It is also an invitation to remember God's kindness and step forward faithfully into what comes next.
