We see WPCC as a thriving,
prayerfully dependent,
community connected church…
…with an inviting, accessible worship space and
room to welcome newcomers as we
continue to see God grow his family here in Woonona.

Building Project
For almost a decade now teams at WPCC have been researching, planning and praying as we consider the best way to proceed with improvements to the facilities at Gray St.
Currently we have a DA lodged with Wollongong City Council and are finalising detailed financial plans for approval by the church.
Pending the approval of the DA and financial plan the next step will be to raise funds and build a building!
Research
In April 2021 the Space Team surveyed our church family to hear feedback and suggestions regarding the building. They specifically asked:
What things have you appreciated about the Gray St facilities?
What are the challenging aspects of the Gray St facilities?
Thinking about the possibility of building new facilities on Gray St, what opportunities do you see for:
Our worship
Ministry activities
Community engagement
Would you be willing and able to financially partner with us toward the building costs of a new worship and ministry facility?
Planning
After careful consideration, consultation and some necessary compromises to keep the project on budget the proposed floorplan for the new building includes:
A new worship space with twice the capacity of the existing church to ensure we have room to welcome newcomers
Improved accessibility both within the worship space, around the site, between the buildings and within the existing buildings
Additional and accessible toilet facilities
Flexible spaces for ministries and future needs including meeting rooms, cry room, kids’ church rooms and storage spaces
An new carpark area for improved safety and accessibility, especially in wet weather and at night
A place to gather
For WPCC to continue to grow into the thriving, prayerfully dependent, community connected church we see God calling us to be, we need space. While many of us appreciate the intimacy of our existing worship space we regularly find ourselves with little room to spare.
As we connect with each other and God each Sunday, grow in our faith as we get to know Jesus more deeply, serve each other and our community as the hands and feet of Christ and go out to share His Good News we can be prayerfully confident that God will continue to grow His kingdom and His family at WPCC.
The hope and prayer is that this new building will provide a space for us to continue doing that for generations to come.
