Our Mission
Our Vision
We are a church planted in the soil of the Southern Downs and deeply rooted in the Word
of God. Our history holds both times of abundance and times of drought, but we are
being revived again by Jesus Christ. We understand Jesus to be the fulfilment, focus and
priority of the Bible’s unfolding story concerning God and humanity.
We celebrate each other’s uniqueness, while enjoying unity as the body of God’s church.
We share a vision grown from shared experience as a church family; a vision of renewal
through the generous grace of our God. We are growing healthy relationships together
and being nourished by God’s Word and His Spirit. The Spirit of God is transforming our
lives. We are learning to model the servant leadership of Jesus to each other. We share
in the work of the church, growing in God and enjoying the growth of others. We commit
ourselves to each other as a family under God, for the growth of His kingdom.
We want to live lives of confidence in Jesus’ saving grace, shining hope to an anxious
culture. By our words and our actions, we want to reflect the freedom and joy found in
following Jesus. We want to share his love, mercy and favour with everyone, and we
welcome anyone to come and discover the joy we have found.
Our Current Bible Talk Series
Where does Jesus the Messiah come from? There are many possible ways to answer this question, too: “Well, he comes from God. From the Father, The Holy Spirit, From Mary… From the prophecies of the Old Testament, that’s where he comes from! From Bethlehem, of course! From Nazareth. From Israel. From the Jews. Or if we’re familiar with Matthew’s gospel, we might say: “From Egypt…”
This term, we’re learning about Jesus the Messiah – about where he comes from, from Matthew’s gospel. Because where the Messiah comes from will tell us an awful lot about his destiny – and, as we’ll hear – about ours. About your destiny. About mine. And about who we are and how we can live in the meantime, where we live.
Matthew is a 7 part teaching series over three years.
This term is Part 1: ‘Dangerous Promises’. Because the New Testament starts with danger in all nine episodes of this term, from Matthew chapter 1, to chapter 4. We’ve called this term ‘Dangerous Promises’, because these opening chapters drip with fear and an abiding sense of fulfilment, everywhere. Fear and fulfilment. Of apparently ‘long-dead’ promises now coming alive, to fruition… but tragically, and at great cost to the innocent.
What on earth does Jesus the Messiah mean, when he says, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near’? We’re about to find out, together: in depth, in detail, in delight even, over the coming three years. Are you ready? You can find the full introduction to this series here.
