Church is not a building in a certain place, a meeting at a certain time or a group for people of a certain age.
Church is a community of Jesus followers for every generation, everyday, everywhere. A Jesus centred community empowered to make disciples
A Jesus Community - Jesus changes our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we make spending time in the presence of God a priority. It’s the Holy Spirit who comes alongside (John 14:16), shows us where sin is in our lives (John 16:8), reveals Jesus to us (John 15:26) and empowers us live as disciples of Jesus (Acts 1:8) A Belonging Community - We are adopted as God's son's and daughters into his family. God's family (the church) is where we can find friendship, belonging and purpose. A Serving Community - We serve as children of God. We give our time, gifting and our resources generously to bless those in and those beyond our church family. A Discipling Community - We grow in our relationship with God to become more like Jesus in the context of a discipling/training community so that we can fulfil the mission- ON MISSION Being on Mission together means we live out our faith in the context of community, following Jesus where he is leading us and seeing the gospel displayed in word and action. "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
