How we do things

West Ryde Community Church is an affiliated church of the Association of Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT.

Our principal governing document is the West Ryde Community Church Constitution and By-Laws 18 August 2019.

Our church is governed by a leadership team consisting of the pastor(s) and members elected to positions of oversight. From time to time the Lead Pastor may supervise Student Pastors or Ministry Interns.

Senior Leaders have documented role descriptions which define the key accountabilities, relationships and dimensions of their role. Senior Leaders are empowered by the church to make decisions within their defined role, however final decisions rest with the church.

We affirm that all people have the right to be emotionally and physically safe, respected, and have their views and opinions valued at all times. We also live in a country that legislates for people’s safety. The WRCC Safe Church Policy has been developed to help us live out our Biblical mandate and our responsibilities under Australian Legislation. It documents our commitment to safe leaders, safe ministry programs and safe ministry environments.

We may collect your personal information for the primary purpose of ministry and to allow us to care for you better. The WRCC Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your personal information.

West Ryde Community Church is registered on the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) Register as a Basic Religious Charity.
