New Carpark Rules It has been raised that there has been more traffic in the church carpark on Sunday after the morning services
and before the Cantonise service. With many children going between the Manse and the main church building currently, the church
leadership has decided to update the rules for use of the car park to ensure safety and that parking goes to those who do need it.
As such, the age requirements for those using the carpark have been changed to those with children under 3 and those who are over
70. Furthermore, cars are not allowed to enter and wait inside the carpark if there are no spaces available.
For those b/s who have special needs may apply for parking permit from church office. -

Who are We
Chinese and Australian Baptist Church - Thornleigh was founded in July 1989. Since 1984, Rev. Joseph Fung responded to God's guidance, and, together with Rev. Burman of Eastwood Baptist Church began to reach out to the Cantonese speaking Chinese migrant community, resulting in the establishment of CABC Thornleigh. All this time the Church has upheld its foundation – the Word of God. The ministry of our church has always centred on the Word of God – our Sunday worship, our all-age Sunday school, our cell groups and fellowship groups all built upon this foundation; but from the beginning, never forgetting the Great Commission. Right from the beginning, CABC-Thornleigh already established a mission fund, supporting local and overseas mission.
Here we see a beautiful picture, the Australian and Chinese pastors and brothers and sisters then, in responding to the gospel need of the community, joined in local mission, establishing the church, spreading the Word of God, and supporting overseas missions. Just as the Lord Jesus, before his ascension, instructed the apostles and said, “…You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). We thank God for His provision throughout the years, for establishing CABC-Thornleigh this big spiritual family to proclaim Christ and witness the power of His Gospel.
