What We Believe

Our Mission

Our church exists to glorify God by making more disciples of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28: 19-20).

A disciple commits to obey Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord - through worshipping God, fellowshipping with God's people, growing in a knowledge of God, serving God and sharing the Good News about Jesus Christ with others.

Based on this purpose we covenant together by God's grace, to live our lives consistent with the teachings of the Bible

• supporting the ministry of our church through regular worship attendance, prayer, service and ministry, giving and personal witness,
• living lives in word and deed that encourage others to know and be like Jesus Christ, and
• by reflecting in all our relationships the servant love of Jesus Christ.

Our Vision

Vision is about our hopes of what could be!

We envision sharing the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection with unchurched friends and people in our city, many of whom will accept him as Saviour.

We envision developing our people - new believers as well as established believers - into fully functioning followers of Jesus Christ through people-friendly worship services, kids church services, special events and most important small groups.

We envision becoming a church of small groups - youth as well as adults - where our people model biblical community: a safe place where we accept one another and are accepted, love and are loved, shepherd and are shepherded, encourage and are encouraged, forgive and are forgiven, and serve and are served.

We envision helping all our people - youth as well as adults - to discover their God-given purpose so they are equipped to serve Jesus Christ effectively in some ministry either within or outside our church. Our goal is that every member will be a minister.

We envision welcoming numerous members into our church who are excited about Jesus Christ, experiencing healing in their family relationships and marriages, and grow together in love.

We envision our recruiting, training and sending out a number of our members as missionaries, church planters and church workers all over the world. We see a number of our people pursuing short-term missions service in various countries.

We envision planting a church in Australia or overseas every five years.

We envision a larger facility that will accommodate our growth and be accessible to all in our city. This facility will provide ample room for worship services, kids church, small groups, Bible study, prayer and other meetings. While we do not believe that 'bigger is better', numerical growth is a by-product of church health and effective evangelism. We desire to grow as God prospers us and uses us to reach a lost and dying world.

This is our dream - our vision of what could be!
