Welcome to ARPC!

We are a welcoming, vibrant and growing church on Brisbane’s southside that offers genuine community to those wanting to investigate, learn about and follow Jesus. We value clear, Christ-centred bible teaching that shapes everything we do, and we would love for you to come and experience it for yourself.

Acacia Ridge Presbyterian Church (ARPC) is part of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland. Our building is in Acacia Ridge, but you’ll find our members come from all over the southside of Brisbane. We would love for you to join us, so please look around our website to find out more about us.

When we meet on Sundays:

9:30am Sunday Service (English and Farsi)

God has been at work bringing Iranian people to know Christ. Our Farsi Church welcomes Persian speaking people and meets with everyone at the beginning of the service, followed by a separate time studying the Bible in Persian. Please contact us if you would like further information!

During this service facilities are available for parents with young children as well as a Creche program (in recess) for those whose little ones are happy to leave their parents. We also run a Children’s Church for those in Prep to Year 6.  (Note that our youth group for Years 7 to 12 meets on Friday nights.)

Our Ministries

Our Ministries

Our Ministry philosophy

We believe that God gave Christians His gospel and each other, to grow us to maturity and faith in Christ. For this reason, we’re all about intentionally building relationships in our community that are shaped by the gospel. For a start, we encourage all members to be an active part of a Growth Group that meets together weekly for encouragement and Bible study. These groups may be mens, women’s or mixed groups, but there are also other more specialised groups that meet.

Specialised ministries

Children’s Church

Sundays 9.30am

Children’s Church meets at our morning service during school term.

The children begin their teaching time at the same time as the service starts – please come 10 minutes before to settle them in.

At Children’s Church they enjoy a fantastic time of kids songs, games and bible teaching together. They then split into smaller age groups for a time of discussion, application of the lesson and craft. All children from Prep to Grade 6 are welcome.

We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of children. As such we follow the PresSafe system. All of our volunteers who work with children hold a current Blue Card and have undertaken child safety training.

Ridge Youth

Friday nights

Our youth group (for grades 7-12) meets on Friday nights from 6.30pm until 8.30pm during school term.

The purpose of our youth group is to provide a safe place for youth to build friendships, have fun and learn about God’s love for them in Christ.

Our time together focuses on the Bible.

There is discussion on a variety of relevant issues and questions. We also regularly get together for social events including a yearly youth camp.

We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of children. As such we follow the PresSafe system. All of our volunteers who work with children hold a current Blue Card and have undertaken child safety training.

Young Adults

Wednesday nights

Our young adults (school leavers to 30 years of age) meet weekly during term time to study the bible and pray together. The main focus of our Young Adults ministry is to seek to grow disciples that love God and love others.

ARPC Women & Men’s Ministries



At ARPC we want to encourage men and women in a way that helps equip them as disciples of Jesus Christ, for their own spiritual maturity, the good of their marriages and families and for the benefit of all.

There are opportunities for women and men to attend bible teaching and social events, retreats and day conferences.
