Welcome to Park Ridge Baptist Church
A People Passionate About Jesus and His Kingdom...
Park Ridge Baptist Church is a gathering of people passionate about loving Jesus and serving His Kingdom agenda for the earth - to make this place (earth) look like the mother country (heaven).
We aim to be a centre where Jesus' Kingdom life - righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit - can flow with transforming power and effect through people to the nations of the earth.
We believe it's really the only thing worth living for.
We'd be thrilled to have you join us.
Our Mission
Currently PRBC is in a time of transition. As we seek God for His Vision and Purpose, we are aware of the following paradigm shifts taking place in our hearts as the Holy Spirit is moving upon us.
Paradigm Shift
- From organisational relationships to love relationships
- From our plans to God's agenda
- From ‘struggling church’ to ‘advancing Kingdom’
- From Pastoral leadership to Apostolic leadership
- From Individuals to teams
- From what we can do to what God can do (faith & prayer)
- From expecting a few to do it to every member a minister and a missionary
- From controlling and limiting to empowering and releasing in ministry and mission
- From generational to intergenerational
- From Park Ridge Baptist mindedness to Kingdom mindedness
- From ministry focused to ministry/mission balanced
- From membership (rights, rewards, getting) to Partnership (responsibility, ownership, giving)
- From filling 'holes' (trying to make a minister fit a ministry) to SHAPE oriented ministry (building a ministry according to the SHAPE of the minister/s)
- From natural ability to supernatural power

Senior Leader
Paul Jackson
I have been part of this amazing fellowship since 1978 after our family moved into the area. It was at Sunday School here that I have my first memory of telling Jesus that I wanted to be His friend. That friendship has continued to grow with the encouragement of the gracious people who have been part of PRBC over the years. During my childhood and youth I was constantly encouraged by loving parents and leaders who kept inspiring and leading us to live in a genuine relationship with God.
Charmain and I married in 1992 and have enjoyed the opportunity to serve our community in a variety of ways including leading youth and young adults, participating in music and prayer groups, helping out in primary and high schools, connecting with people through sports.
We have been part of the leadership team since 1996 and were appoint as senior leaders in 2005.
Our passion is to see every human being restored to God's original design in spirit, soul and body, and filling the earth with the glory of God until things on earth are as it is in heaven.
