Blakelaw Community Church exists to communicate the good news about Jesus Christ, and the salvation that has been effected through him to Blakelaw and the surrounding area. We meet together each Sunday for worship and teaching, and midweek for prayer and Bible study. People who attend live locally or in other parts of Newcastle. We organise some community events and host a fortnightly Warm Space.
