At smallboatbigsea we have a reputation for “doing church differently” but that’s not how we see it. In fact, we don’t think we “do church” at all, let alone differently. We are simply a community of Jesus-followers who prefer people to programs, and worship-in-action to worship-in-a-building. We’re a tight knit bunch, deeply committed to working together in God’s mission in Christ to bring peace and hope and love to the world – including our own world in Manly as well as the whole world out there.

The Lounge is church stripped of its formality. We follow a simple liturgy:
- Blessing
- Eating (we share a dinner together)
- Adoration towards God
- Teaching
- Sending (one of our regulars would share about what they do in a typical week, then we reflect to them the ways we see they image Jesus in what they do, and send them to continue to bless people). MORE
Small Boat also runs a local PlayTime groups for pre-schoolers and their carers. Presently catering for up to 150 parents/carers plus their children who use the playgroup each week at William Street Studios. MORE
