Mount Barker — Mount Barker

A word from Alice & Rob

Hey there and welcome!!

Whether someone invited you, you found us online, or you just took a chance on a Sunday morning - we are excited that you are here!

We are Alice and Rob, and we get to lead this incredible community of people at Futures Church. We have two incredible kids, love family, sport and having fun and have a genuine belief that church can be one of the best things in your life.

We want our church to feel like a family, a place where people from every background and stage of life have decided to do life and faith together.

We don't pretend to have everything figured out. But we know the One who does. And every Sunday, we gather around that. So join us. Grab a coffee. Let someone show you around.

We'd love to get to know you.

Your first Sunday

What to expect at Mount Barker.

Futures Church Mt Barker is a welcoming community made up of everyday people from all different backgrounds and stages of life. It’s the kind of place where people can make real connections, find support, and feel like they belong without needing to have everything figured out. There’s a relaxed and genuine atmosphere, with families, young people, couples, tradies, business owners, and retirees all doing life together. The church is passionate about making a positive difference in the Adelaide Hills through strong community involvement, programs for kids and teenagers, and creating spaces where people can grow and build healthy relationships. Whether someone has been around church their whole life or has never stepped into one before, Futures Church Mt Barker wants people to feel comfortable, included, and at home. As a Church we also have a strong commitment to our local community through Futures Care. One of our great intiatives is Love out Loud which happens every fortnight and is a place for people to come and enjoy a cooked lunch with others and also receive a food hamper and other items that may help in seasons of need.

Futures Church is a pentecostal church in the Adelaide Hills that is “a home for everyone,” offering great Sunday services, kids & youth programs, worship, & community connection for all ages.

Sunday at Mount Barker

Only at Mount Barker

  • What makes Futures Church Mt Barker special is the genuine sense of community and family people experience when they walk through the doors. We’re a relaxed, authentic church where people know each other by name, genuinely care for one another, and love doing life together beyond just Sunday services.
  • One of the first things you will notice in our Campus is that we are filled with every generation doing life together and there is joy and laughter as people come together.
  • We have a strong sense of community and this overflows into the wider community with our care arm - Futures Care - having a strong footprint in the community. We run a Love out Loud program that provides food hampers and hot lunches to people in our community that for whatever reason need some support.
  • Our Church truly is a place for everyone to grow and be celebrated.

Kids · Mount Barker

Bring the kids. They'll love it.

We believe investing in kids is one of the most important things we can do. Futures Kids runs in every Sunday service and is a fun-filled, safe environment where children build real friendships with each other and with God. We have programs that are age and stage-appropriate, catering to children aged 1 through to Grade 6 at school. Our programs include praise and worship, Bible teaching, stories, crafts, games, and loads of fun. Our team of dedicated, trained leaders genuinely love kids and are passionate about partnering with families to build the faith of their children. It is our hope that your children will form a genuine relationship with God from a young age. We want kids to love Church, love God and find a place where they too can belong, grow and contribute.

Youth

Dreamers Youth is the place for every high school student at Futures Church, and it's one of the highlights of a young persons week. Meeting every Friday night during the school term, Dreamers is a vibrant, fun and faith-building community where young people come to connect, belong, and encounter God together. Dreamers Youth exists to see every young person know who they are in God, build friendships that go the distance, and step into everything He has called them to be.

Young Adults

Young Adults at Futures Church is a community for 18–29 year olds that meets fortnightly in Connect Groups as well as at other times for social gatherings and events. It’s designed to help young adults build real friendships, find belonging, and grow in faith in a relaxed, down-to-earth way.

Prayer is a vital part of the life of our church. Every week we gather together to pray for people, families, our Church and our community. We believe prayer changes lives, strengthens faith, and keeps our church centred on Jesus.

First-time hosts

From the moment you arrive at Futures Church our welcome team will meet you at the door, greet you and make sure you actually feel at home. There's a free coffee waiting, a gift to take away, and real people who are genuinely glad you made it. If you have kids with you our check-in for them is simple and our team will walk you through every step so drop-off is easy and you can settle in knowing they're in great hands. We want you to feel at ease and connected from the moment you arrive for the service.

Follow-up
You can expect a call or text (whatever suits you best) from our Campus Pastor and then we would love to help you get connected to people from the age and stage of life you are in.

New to church?

Your first month at Futures is all about connection. It starts with a warm welcome at the door, a gift, and a coffee or a meal after the service on us. Our team will follow up with a personal call during the week, invite you for a coffee and then we would love to invite you to our next New Friends Dinner. We want you to meet people in your age and stage of life on Sundays but also help you find a Connect Group, where you'll meet others and truly experience what family at Futures feels like.

Just said yes to Jesus?

If someone makes a decision to accept Jesus into their life we will celebrate it! Someone will put a gift into your hand, and connect with you after the service about the decision you have made. We will walk alongside you as you take your next steps as a Christian.

Foundations
Our new christian classes are run through connect groups or are one on one moments spent with one of our great pastoral leaders.
