Welcome to Hinterland Chapel, a grassroots Christian community nestled in the beautiful Byron hinterland of northern New South Wales, Australia.
We are a community seeking to follow Jesus and discover what it means to live lives shaped by his love.
Through biblical teaching, storytelling and honest reflection, we explore faith, discipleship, justice, grace, and the invitation to participate in the life and work of God.
Whether you're part of our chapel community, exploring Christian faith, or simply curious about Jesus, you're welcome here.
Come, Follow Me… Again | When We Fail, Jesus Remains Faithful
What happens when we discover we're not quite the people we thought we were?
In the final message of our Come, Follow Me series, we return to the shores of Galilee, where the risen Jesus meets Peter after his devastating failure.
A story of forgiveness, restoration, renewed calling, and the extraordinary faithfulness of Jesus—even when our own faithfulness fails.
Scripture: John 21:1–19

4. Take up your cross
Take Up Your Cross | Come, Follow Me – Week 4
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me.” — Mark 8:34
These are some of Jesus’ most confronting words. What does it mean to deny yourself? What kind of life has to die? And why does Jesus place the cross at the centre of discipleship?
In Week 4 of Come, Follow Me, we explore the paradox of losing our lives in order to find them, and the radically different way of life revealed in the crucified Christ.

3. Who do you say I am?
Come, Follow Me | Week 3: Who Do You Say I Am?
Mark 8:22–33 | 11 October 2026
Peter correctly identifies Jesus as the Messiah, but moments later tries to correct him!
In this message, we explore what happens when following Jesus challenges our deepest assumptions.
Does the Jesus we confess have permission to contradict us?
Because any spirituality that never contradicts us cannot transform us.
Discover why correction isn't rejection, but part of the journey towards freedom and becoming more like Jesus.

2. With Him
Come, Follow Me – Week 2: With Him
How does Simon become Peter?
In Mark 3, Jesus calls the disciples “that they might be with him.” In this message, we explore discipleship as learning the way of Jesus by walking with him, watching him, and allowing his life to shape our instincts.
Because following Jesus is more than knowing the right answers. It is learning to remain in him until his way begins to become our way.

1. Leaving their nets
What does it mean to follow Jesus when you don’t know where the road will lead?
In the opening message of our Come, Follow Me series, we journey to the shoreline of Galilee where Jesus calls a handful of ordinary fishermen to leave the familiar and follow him.
They don’t yet understand who Jesus is, where he is taking them, or who they themselves will become. But Jesus makes them a promise: “Follow me, and I will make you become.”
A message about uncertainty, grace, transformation, and taking the first step.
