Hi, my name is Max. I am a Christian living in Wagga Wagga, NSW.
Wagga Preterist Church is a home-based fellowship for Christians who hold to the fulfilled view of eschatology. The Preterist walks a lonely and isolated road, as most Christians are still waiting for Christ to come back, destroy the world, and take them up to heaven. The Preterist view is often seen as heretical, and Christians can feel isolated or even be disfellowshipped for holding this view.
WPC offers a place where Preterists in the Riverina can gather to praise God, study His Word, encourage one another, grow in Christ, and live out their faith in a way that brings glory to God.
Other views on eschatology are welcome here. We do not see eschatology as a salvation issue. Although we see eschatology as very important to understanding salvation, the Church and how we are to live in the world.
The motivation for this fellowship is shaped by the example of the early church as described in Acts 2:42–47:
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
All the believers were together and had everything in common.
They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
In the first few centuries of Christianity, believers often met in people’s homes rather than in large buildings. These gatherings were small, relational, and personal, centred on Scripture, prayer, shared meals, and mutual encouragement.
Over time, as Christianity grew and formal church buildings became common, the simple, relational rhythms of these early gatherings were often replaced by more structured services. For me, the model described in Acts 2:42–47 represents an optimal form of Christian fellowship: a community devoted to teaching, prayer, breaking bread together, and caring for one another.
This is the vision I hope to foster—small, welcoming home gatherings where faith, friendship, and Scripture are lived out together in a practical and encouraging way.
