Our Story

Our church began in 2013 with a simple heart for people and a deep desire to see the Sutherland Shire transformed by the love of Jesus.
While our name and structure have evolved over the years, our core heart has never changed: we love Jesus, and we love the Shire.
Today, as Abide Shire Church, we are an independent, local community led by Senior Pastors George and Tania Solomon.
We exist to be a safe haven - a place where you can pull up a chair and be fully known and fully loved by both a community of fellow believers and by Jesus.
He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him,
“Feed my sheep."
John 21:17
