Our city is beautiful but broken. God’s heart is for restoration and He invites us to partner with Him.

OUR VALUES

OUR VALUES

We Sit at the Feet of Jesus

Nothing’s more important than life with Jesus. We come hungry to him. We cherish reading and preaching His Word and His leading and empowering Spirit. Without Him, we can do nothing.

We Invest in the Next

With an eye on the future, we intentionally focus on who is next. We are building a discipling culture and developing emerging leaders. We invest in our children and young people.

We See No Line between Faith and Life

God has placed each of us right where we are. We are all about serving Jesus in every sphere - home, work, study, and church. We intentionally share Jesus with our actions and words.

We Clothe Ourselves with Grace

As recipients of God’s surprising and relentless grace, we choose to extend His grace to everyone. We treat others with compassion, gentleness, truth and love.

Everyone Has a Seat at the Table

We are a crazy family, from different backgrounds, places, and cultures, building deep friendships with each other. As God generously brought us into His whanau, so we reach out to welcome others to the party.

We’re Part of Something Bigger

We recognise it’s not all about us. What God is doing in the world extends beyond us. We love collaborating with and resourcing others in our city and beyond.

OUR BELIEFS

OUR BELIEFS

We believe in one God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, the Bible, Humanity, Sin, Salvation, the Sanctification of every believer, the Church as Christ’s body on earth, the Sacraments of the Lord’s supper, and the return of Jesus Christ.
