We believe church should feel like family. A place where you are known, loved and genuinely welcomed, not because of what you do or where you've been, but simply because you walked through the door.
Our heart is simple. We love God, we love people, and we love doing life together. Whether everything is great right now or things are really hard, there is something here for you.
We believe church should be the highlight of your week, life-giving, Spirit-filled and full of people who genuinely care about you. That's what we want Futures Church to be for you.
Stick around after the service, grab a coffee, and come and say hi. We genuinely can't wait to meet you.
Honestly, the heart of Futures Church is pretty simple, we love God, we love people, and we believe church is meant to be a family. Not a building you visit once a week, but an actual family. The kind where people know your name, show up when life gets hard, and celebrate with you when things are good. We're passionate about doing life together, genuinely together, not just a quick handshake on a Sunday. Our services are life-giving, Spirit-filled and Bible-based, and we want every person who walks through the doors to leave feeling seen, encouraged and full.
When it comes to the kind of family we are, we make room for everyone. It doesn't matter how old you are, what your background looks like, or where you're at in your faith journey. From kids and teenagers to young adults and beyond, there is a place for you here. We're committed to raising up the next generation, investing in people, and seeing everyone grow in their relationship with Jesus. We have small groups all across Adelaide, ministries for every age and stage. But more than the programs, it's the people. It's the culture. It's the feeling you get when you walk in and someone's already happy to see you. That's the kind of family we are, and honestly, once you're in, you're in. You belong here.
Honestly, it's like a big family. We love God, we love worship, and we're passionate about doing life together, and not just on Sundays. Most of all, it just feels like home.
Only at Paradise
Futures Church Paradise is one of those places that's hard to describe until you've experienced it, but we'll try. It's vibrant, it's alive, and the atmosphere is electric. From the moment the worship starts, there is something in the room that you just can't manufacture.
But what makes us truly special is the people. We are a church of all nations and all generations, young and old, families and singles, people from every background and walk of life, all in the one room, all worshipping the same God. There is something incredibly powerful about that. And even though we are a large church, people consistently tell us it feels like family from the very first Sunday.
Add to that a world-class kids program, a thriving youth ministry, young adults finding their feet, and small groups running all across the city, and you've got a church that's not just large, but full of life at every level and genuine connection at every turn. Come and experience it for yourself. We think you'll love it!
Kids · Paradise
Bring the kids. They'll love it.
At Futures Church 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. Every program includes praise and worship, Bible teaching, stories, crafts, games, and loads of fun — because we believe faith should be exciting, especially when you're young. We cater for children from the time they start walking right through to Grade 6, with age-appropriate groups so every child gets the most out of their experience. Our team of dedicated, trained leaders genuinely love kids and are passionate about partnering with families to build the faith of their children.

Youth
Dreamers Youth is the place for every high school student at Futures Church, and it's one of the highlights of our 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. We believe in this generation deeply. We believe they are not just the church of tomorrow, they are the church of today. Dreamers 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.
When
Friday Nights 6:30pm, during the school term, in the Youth Hall
bU is the women's ministry at Futures Church. A vibrant community built around one simple belief: that every woman was uniquely created to make a powerful impact on her world. It's a space for women to connect, grow in faith, and step into everything God has for them.
Young Adults is for 18 to 25s. Whether you're a uni student, young professional, or young couple navigating life together. Whatever your story, there is a place for you here. Throughout the year we host events, hangs and gatherings to help you connect, grow in your faith, and do life together. We are passionate about discipling young men and women bold enough to believe they can change their world for Jesus. It's fun, welcoming, and full of people just like you. Come and find your people.
When
Wednesday Connect Groups and Various events through out the year
Every Thursday morning we gather to pray for our church, our city, and our people. We believe that nothing happens until someone pray, but when someone prays, anything can happen. That's not just a saying, it's a conviction we build our lives around. Whether you've been praying for decades or you're just starting out, come and be part of it.
From the moment you arrive, our greeters are at the door to welcome you with a smile. Our information desk is on hand for any questions, and every first-time visitor receives a gift from us, just our way of saying we're glad you're here. If you have children, our easy check-in process will get your kids signed into Futures Kids quickly and safely. After the service, head to the Connect Lounge for hospitality and a chance to meet our team. We want you to leave feeling welcome, connected and glad you came.

Follow-up
Our team personally calls every first-time visitor to say hello, answer questions and help you find your next step. We'd love to meet you personally, introduce you to others in the church family, and ultimately help you find a Connect Group, because that's where you'll truly feel at home at Futures.
Your first month at Futures is all about connection. It starts with a warm welcome at the door, a gift, and an invitation to our Connect Lounge after the service. Our team will follow up with a personal call during the week, and from there we'd love to invite you to our next New Friends Dinner, and help you find a Connect Group, where you'll meet others and truly experience what family at Futures feels like.
Class
New Friends Dinner - Various times throughout the year
Taking your first steps with Jesus is one of the most exciting moments in life, and we want to walk every step of it with you. Our New Christians Course is designed specifically for those who have just given their life to Jesus or are exploring what faith really means. It covers the foundations of the Christian life, who God is, what the Bible says, prayer, community, and how to grow in your relationship with Jesus. From there we'll help you find a Connect Group and a community to journey with. You are not alone in this, we've got you.
Tony & Aste love God, are passionate about family, and find the greatest joy in seeing others encounter Jesus, so they can walk into the fullness of life He has for them.
