We believe that child dedication is a powerful moment in every child‘s life because they are so precious to God. In the public act of dedication, our church family, together with you, comes together to seek God’s blessing upon your child. We pray for your child and declare God’s protection and direction over their life. Child dedication is a time of celebration and rejoicing for the whole family, and a spiritual investment for the future.
Date: Father’s Day, 6 September 2026

We’re excited to launch Food 4 Thought, a new initiative supported by Clayton Church of Christ and Waterman Co-Working Spaces for business owners, entrepreneurs and senior leaders. Enjoy a relaxed meal, build genuine relationships, hear from guest speaker Eric Zimmerman, a Christian entrepreneur, and explore how faith connects with leadership, business and everyday life through Alpha-style conversation resources. This is a great opportunity to invite a friend, colleague or business leader who may not normally attend church but is open to meaningful conversations about faith, purpose and leadership. Places are limited, so please register your interest in attending or inviting a guest using the link below. We’re also looking for a small number of volunteers, particularly young adults interested in entrepreneurship, business and leadership, to help with welcoming, hospitality and set-up. To volunteer or ask questions, speak with Shamilla or Percy after the service or email us at hello@claytonchurch.org.au.

Marriage as God intended is a lifelong journey where a husband and wife become “ONE”; a strong, united team who can embrace life’s joys and challenges together. Yet every marriage experiences moments of friction as we navigate different personalities, backgrounds, and desires. To flourish together, we need to intentionally invest in our relationship and develop practical skills in communication, connection, and resolving conflict. If you want to strengthen and revitalise your marriage, then this course is for you! Facilitated by Frank and Margaret Ruhl, this course will provide a safe and welcoming space for couples to learn, reflect, and grow together. 

Date: 11 September – 31 October 2026 (7 weeks on Friday evenings with dinner on Saturday 31 October at 6.30 pm)

b@clayton Youth is hosting a friendly mixed volleyball social for all high school students in Years 7–12. This community event is a wonderful opportunity to invite your friends, form a mixed team, meet new people and enjoy an afternoon of volleyball, connection and fun with other teams. Teams must include both guys and girls, with at least 2 girls on the court at all times. There will also be a social court available for those who would like to come along, play casually and enjoy the afternoon without joining a team.

Healing Through Creativity is a new Life Group that invites you into a gentle and hope-filled space where God meets us through creative expression. Creativity does not mean being artistic; it is part of how we are made in the image of our Creator and is present in everyday areas of life, such as problem-solving, gardening, cooking, and more. This group is especially for anyone carrying unexpressed emotions, feeling stuck in decision-making, or longing for a deeper Spirit-to-Spirit connection with God. In a safe and encouraging environment, come experience God’s healing heart, renewed joy, and greater freedom through creativity, while enjoying meaningful fellowship as the family of God.

Dates: Thursdays (16 Jul, 20 Aug, 17 Sep, 15 Oct, 19 Nov)
