SUNDAY MtE WORSHIP

On July 23 2023, MtE shifted its Sunday worship to the Centre for Theology and Ministry, 29 College Crescent, Parkville.

Limited parking is available onsite on Sundays, and very limited parking during office hours during the week. There is usually plenty of street parking available nearby. Details below!

GETTING THERE and PARKING

Car parking is available on-site. The entrance to the car park is directly opposite the main entrance to the Melbourne General Cemetery.

The car park is accessed from College Crescent, from the east, for turning left into the car park. NOTE – if you’re coming from the west, you can’t turn right into the car park but can continue to the next roundabout at the intersection with Swanston Street and do a U-turn to approach the CTM in the correct direction for access to the car park. If you miss the college turn-off, veer left around the corner to find plenty of street parking not much further on.

The car will either be open (boom gate up), or staffed by someone to open it, at least until the commencement of worship. If you arrive late, we can’t guarantee that the car park will be accessible.

Car parking is also available in the streets around the college; there is space enough for all MtE cars in the CTM carpark, but street parking might be more convenient for some.

Public transport is via trams up Lygon and Swanston Streets, and Royal Parade, each with a short-ish walk to the CTM.

GETTING INTO THE BUILDING

Please plan to arrive early – 9.45am or thereabouts – to allow for missing the turn-off, getting lost, or finding your way into the building.

Entry is via the College Crescent end of the building, through glass sliding doors. Someone will be present to greet you and let you in.

Worship is in Yuma Auditorium will be on your right once you enter the body of the building.

If you’re late, someone will need to come open the doors for you. We’re still working on a system to make this possible!

MORNING TEA

Morning tea will be served in the hospitality area just near the worship space, following worship — we encourage you to joins there!
