Where our heart is as a church

We are a God-Loving, Christ-Centered, Spirit-Filled, Word-Grounded, Disciple-Making community of believers.

God’s agenda is a global agenda. Our hearts are for the nations of the world. Melbourne is a place where there is a gathering of people from all over the world. We are focused on fulfilling the Great Commission through the proclaimation of the entire Word of God. It is a church that reaches out to all! This is what the church exists for; to  bring about the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

 

A Summary of Our Core Beliefs
As part of the church universal and as evangelical protestant christians, we hold to the ecumenical creeds such as The Apostle' and Nicene Creeds. Our beliefs are best summarized in The Nicene Creed below:

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;

He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
