ABOUT US
Society is a new church for the city of Melbourne.
Our vision is to see people, families, and our city transformed by the love of Jesus.
We believe church should be a place where you can come as you are, find a community you can call home, and grow into everything God has created you to be.
The Society story is just beginning, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
YOU’RE INVITED
Society Church has officially launched, and you’re invited!
Come as you are and join us for worship, connection, and a hope-filled message from the Bible.
When: Sundays at 9:30 AM for barista coffee and community. Service starts at 10:00 AM.
Whether you’re exploring faith, new to church, or have been following Jesus for years, there’s a place for you at Society.
Where: 2 Alma Road, St Kilda, Melbourne 3182
Underground parking is available, along with plenty of street parking and easy access via public transport.
Society kids: Society Kids runs every Sunday for children aged 3+. Our team creates a welcoming environment where kids can learn about Jesus, build friendships, and grow in faith. We also have a dedicated room available for parents with little ones, so you can still be part of the service while caring for your child.
We’d love to see you this Sunday!
OUR PASTORS
Josh and Tayla Bull are passionate about Jesus, the local church, and seeing people’s lives transformed. Married for twelve years and parents to two boys, they’ve spent the past decade serving and building the Church across Australia and the United States.
In 2017, they moved from Australia to South Carolina to join the NewSpring Church family, where they invested in the next generation and led youth and young adult ministries across 14 campuses, serving thousands of young people.
Through it all, their heart has remained the same: to see people encounter Jesus, find community, discover hope, and live with purpose.
Now back in Melbourne, Josh and Tayla are stepping into a new chapter as they lead Society Church.
They believe God is doing something significant in Melbourne, and their vision is to see people, families, and communities transformed by the love of Jesus. They want to build a church that is centred on the presence of God, committed to people, and genuinely for the city, believing the impact of the local church can reach far beyond its four walls.

OUR BELIEFS
The Trinity
We believe in one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Our Witness
We believe we are called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ in word and action, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Creation
We believe God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is the creator.
Unity
We believe we are called to unity within the local church and throughout the whole Christian Church.
The Church
We believe that through faith in Christ, we are united with all other believers in Christ’s Body – the Church – and that this finds expression through our participation in a local church.
Jesus
We believe in the Centrality of Jesus Christ: a. Fully God, fully human, b. Lived a life of perfect obedience, c. Died for our sin, d. Was physically resurrected, e. Will come again as the judge of all
Salvation
We believe we are saved by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone.
Marriage
We believe we are called to celibacy in singleness and loving faithfulness between a man and woman in marriage.
Eternal Life
We believe in the resurrection of the dead and the gift of eternal life through Christ.
Holy Spirit
We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to transform lives and, indeed, the whole of creation.
The Word
We believe the bible (the word of God) points beyond itself to Jesus Christ (the Word of God) on whom alone our faith, hope and salvation rests
Our Purpose
We believe our purpose in life is to love God fully and to love others as Christ has loved us and so participate in building God’s Kingdom of love, peace and justice.
The Bible
We believe the Bible, including the Old and New Testaments, is inspired by God. Our faith, teaching and lives are nourished and regulated by the truth of the biblical witness.
Repentance
We believe we are called to turn away from sin and to grow in Christ-like character exemplified in the fruit of the Spirit.
Humanity
We believe human beings are created in the image of God.
Sin
We believe the essence of sin is rejection of and rebellion against God.
