About Third Space

We're making space for conversations about God in daily life. Third Space is about communities where you can have conversations about life, faith and everything in-between

It can be hard to find the space to really connect with other people through conversations that matter.Find a place to belong and connect with people about God, film, professional life and wellbeing through conversations.

Third Space began in 2019 out of a desire to make spaces for people to explore the bigger questions of life. We connect with thousands of people every year across Australia in small groups, big events and online.

What we do
