Our Core Values.
-
Presence Of God.
We want to purposely cultivate a hunger for God’s presence. We believe that God delights and desires to be with us as we worship and focus on Him. We want to cultivate a lifestyle of recognising his presence in our daily lives. We want to be a people burning on fire for Jesus, desiring to meet with Him.
Psalm 73:28, Psalm 16:11, John 5:19-20.
-
Jesus At The Centre.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only saviour. Jesus is our priority and our focus is on him. We want to know him and be more like him in every area of our lives.
John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, Colossians 1:18
-
Goodness Of God.
We believe God is a good father, who we can trust in every circumstance. The enemy wishes to steal, kill and destroy whereas Jesus came to give us an abundant life.
John 10:10, Psalm 103:8-13, Romans 8:28-32
-
All Things Are Possible.
We believe that with God all things are possible. There is nothing too difficult for God. We believe in a supernatural God who is able to turn any situation for good.
Matthew 17:20, Acts 2:17-18, Luke 1:37, Ephesians 3:20, Jeremiah 33:27
OUR STORY.
It all began with a single step of obedience in March 2008: pursuing Jesus ministering to the Chinese community. What started as a small group of pioneers meeting for a translated Sunday service has grown to many lost souls saved, meeting together across three services.
We believe everyone is created to be extraordinary. God has created each and every person uniquely and He has a destiny and plan for us. Our mission is to equip the saints, to be effective disciples and faithful witnesses for Jesus.
OUR Milestones
We honour and celebrate how God has guided and led our church.We believe that as we remember our significant milestones, we are recognising God’s hand in our lives and looking forward to being used by Him in an even greater measure.
