About Us
SeeChange Church has been blessed by 20 years of faithful ministry, built on trust, relationships, and a shared vision of seeing lives transformed by Jesus.
As a campus of Kingsway Church, we are part of something bigger while carrying our own unique identity and eldership. Our structure is both relational and centralised: each church has its own eldership providing spiritual leadership and care, while governance and finances are centralised across all campuses. This model ensures unity, accountability, and wise stewardship, while still giving space for each campus to flourish in its local context.
SeeChange is a small-to-medium-sized church with a big community impact. We are known for being authentic, relational, and Spirit-led, creating relaxed and non-religious environments where people can encounter Jesus in genuine and life-changing ways.
Situated in the heart of the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, SeeChange enjoys a vibrant local community with close proximity to beaches and the Royal National Park, making it a unique and attractive place to live, minister, and raise a family.
