Legalbuff Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi Malinda,I don't know where in Perth you are, as this will surely influence your decision. We are in Baldivis, near Rockingham and we attend the Rockingham Baptist Churc. It's a great environment where people really care for you, without being condescending. The church also has a great South African community, which helps for making friends when you first get here. For this kids they have "Buzz Kids" which is an activity time for them whilst mum and dad enjoy the service.It's in Waikiki in Rockingham. PM me if you want a specific address or details.RegardsL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Aussie Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Hi,If you're looking for churches with a majority of South Africans in the congregation then you can try Whitfords Presbyterian http://www.whitfordspc.com/ where we're going. It's 60% South African, 30% Zimbos and the other 10% from the UK and Aus. Also try Grace Christian Reformed Churches in North Beach http://www.gracecrc.org.au/ and Victoria Park http://www.crcperth.org.au/RegardsAA Edited January 19, 2009 by Almost Aussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeemm Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi ThereJust another comment for Whitfords Presbyterian, we also go there and find it a very warm and welcoming congregation. Quite an active Sunday School for the children as well. And option of an evening service as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandiceM Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 YOu can also try Sunset Coast CLC in Winton Circle, Joondalup. They have a great kids programme they call Junior Stomp and the kids are divided into their different ages and do age appropriate activities. They also have a large SA attendance as well as many other cultures and nationalities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrica Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Dear MalindaPlenty of suggestions have been given. Most of the churches are very child orientated.....go try a few out and see where you and your family feel the most comfortable.I hope you and your family have settled in RegrdsEnrica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
