Welcome

WHO WE ARE

We are a diverse range of people who love Jesus wholeheartedly and who live to serve His purposes. All are welcome to join us as we meet regularly to worship in song, hear his Word and enjoy fellowship with one another.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that God is the Creator of heaven and earth. We believe that He sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to redeem all people from sin and to be Lord and Saviour. We believe that the Holy Spirit of God dwells in those who have received Jesus as Lord and intimately leads us in His ways, and in relationship with God.

We believe that the Bible is an authority from God – His living Word through which He speaks to us and shows us His nature and His purposes. We believe that our lives must be rooted in the Word of God, and His Church founded on and operated according to the truths therein.

OUR VISION AND VALUES

Our vision is to see the church of Jesus Christ live and operate in the fullness He has intended for us; to see God’s people restored and passionate about relationship with God,
the Bible and the Kingdom of God ⎯ His reign and His people.

Our vision also involves a desire to see not only Australia, but the nations of the world receive salvation through Jesus and discipled. This is done through Bible-based churches like those seen in the New Testament. Teams of men and women are raised up with leaders commissioned to go where God calls them to.

We are a church operating as a base which is committed to raising resources so that we can reach people near and far. This involves training, equipping, envisioning, going and sending of people to see this happen. This vision is based on the Great Commission which Jesus gave to His disciples in Matthew 28:18-19.

While the vision tells us what God has called us to do as a church, our values tell us exactly how we are to go about it. Our values address issues of character, faith, leadership style and heart. Since our beginning as a church family, we have lived by 25 Bible-based values. We encourage you to read the Bible verses behind each value. Here they are:

1. We are a people of faith and allow our theology to determine all areas of our lives. We need to truly know our God, the one true God, and grow in our understanding of who He is and who we are in Him.
