A word from Tina

We’re so glad you’re here! Whether someone invited you, you found us online or decided to give church a go, we’re excited to meet you!

We’re JP and Tina, and we have the privilege of leading this beautiful community. Family is a big part of our lives and we love ours - it’s large and loud - 17 in total! We enjoy having fun, laughing lots, the outdoors and a good chat.

We keep it simple - we love God, love people and we love His church. We believe church can be one of the best parts of your life. What you will find here isn’t performative or polished - it is authentic, real and approachable. A place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together, build friendships, grow in faith and do life together. No matter your story there’s a place for you here.

We’d love to get to know you!

Rooted in the belief that children are a precious gift from God, it is a significant event for the family as it often symbolises the parents' desire to raise their child in alignment with Christian values and teachings, inviting God's guidance and blessing upon their family. It's a cherished moment of faith, love, and community, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of spiritual growth and exploration for the child.

Serving

There’s something special about being part of a team and serving together! Serving is a wonderful opportunity to use the gifts God has given us, build friendships and make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it’s welcoming someone at the door, serving a coffee or helping behind the scenes, everyone has something to contribute. Please reach out if you would like to talk with someone about joining a team!

Prayer at this campus

Prayer

We believe prayer changes things! That’s why we gather every Tuesday from 6:30–7:30pm for one hour of prayer. It’s a simple time to come together, worship, seek God and pray for one another, our church, families and community. Prayer is an important part of who we are, and we want to make gathering together to pray a priority in the life of our church.

When
Held at the church, 6.30pm - 7.30pm every Tuesday night.

Worship team at this campus

Worship team

Worship is an important part of who we are at Futures Clare Valley. More than just singing songs, worship is our response to who God is and all He has done. Our desire is to create an atmosphere where people can encounter His presence, draw closer to Him and respond with genuine praise and surrender. Each Sunday, we come together with a heart to honour Jesus, make room for the Holy Spirit to move and lift up His name together as a church family.

From Tina

We’re JP and Tina, and we have the wonderful privilege of pastoring Futures Clare Valley. Having recently relocated from the southern suburbs of Adelaide, we’ve completely fallen in love with the beautiful Clare Valley region, its countryside, its people and the community we now get to call home. We’ve been married for many (many) years and have three incredible adult children, who are married to equally amazing people, and nine gorgeous grandchildren! Family is a huge part of our lives, and there’s nothing better than getting everyone together, sharing good food, plenty of laughs and making memories. We enjoy the outdoors, exploring new places, a little adventure and making our house a home. We also love a good coffee and a long chat! Meeting new people, hearing their stories and getting to know them is something we genuinely enjoy. We have a heart for God, His church and the community we get to be part of. We’re passionate about seeing people encounter Jesus, grow in their faith and discover the incredible purpose God has for their lives. We believe church is so much more than somewhere we attend on Sundays. It’s a family where we build genuine friendships, encourage one another, grow together and do life together. More than anything, our desire is to see people come to know Jesus and experience for themselves the life-changing difference He makes.
