Life Chapel relaunch update

Life Chapel is excited to announce a new location and a new time for resuming services. 

The first gathering since churches were closed due to COVID-19 will be held at Kennedy Baptist College in Murdoch at 10am on June 21. 

Kennedy Baptist College is offering Life Chapel a fantastic opportunity to hold a morning church service, with children’s ministries, in a safe environment to accommodate our growing congregation. 

Capital Youth will continue to run on Friday nights out of the Cockburn Youth Centre once public hiring is available. In the meantime, we can’t wait to see you in person!  

If you can’t get to a 10am service, live streams will be available on our website www.lifechapel.church.  

We will resume our prayer meeting before the service at 9.30am on campus.  

The church has a COVID-19 Plan and encourages anyone who is unwell to stay home and enjoy the livestreams until they have returned to full health.

Please do not take unwell children to a campus church service. 

To comply with COVID-19 guidelines, the church must also register everyone who attends a Life Chapel service so please read on for important new check-in details.
