Our Vision and Atmosphere
We aim to create an environment of peace and healing, like the
pool of Bethesda a place of grace, mercy, and love. It
is a place of rest and refreshment, where yokes are loosened and
new hope and direction are found.
This will be for a fellowship where both God and people feel welcome
a place to truly meet with the Father's tender heart. Here,
people learn how deeply they are loved and begin to discover the
vast provision Jesus won for them on the cross. The atmosphere
is tangibly different filled with the abiding presence
of the Holy Spirit, who is not unsettled by strife or contention,
but finds a place to dwell and be heard.
We envision living, sweet water flowing through each minister,
where words are few but full of grace and peace never condemnation.
Like apples of gold in settings of silver, words and songs are
vessels of healing, bringing life to the weary and hope to the
broken.
1. The Trinity
We believe in one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit equal in power, authority, and glory.
God is unchangeable in His holiness, wisdom and love. He is Almighty
Creator, Saviour and Who sustains and governs all things according
to His sovereign ultimate purpose and for His own glory
2. The Bible
We believe the Holy Scriptures are the inspired Word of God and
the New Covenant is authoritative for our Christian belief and
practice. We also believe that the Scriptures require spiritual
discernment and should not be interpreted by human reasoning alone.
Therefore, when questions arise, we seek understanding together
through prayer, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and collective
discernment. This process may involve Overseers, trustees, and
members of the fellowship, so that we may be of one heart and
mind in Jesus Christ who is The Living Word.
3. The Person and Work of Christ
We believe in the eternal deity of our Lord Jesus Christ
His virgin birth, atoning death on the cross, bodily resurrection,
ascension into heaven, present reign, and future personal return
in glory and power. We believe that when Jesus died, He reconciled
the world to God. Through His sacrificial death on the cross,
He bore the curse of sin on behalf of all humanity and secured
Oneness with Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and every spiritual
blessing. The benefits of His redemptive work forgiveness,
healing, peace, and reconciliation are made available to
all, and become reality in the lives of those who awaken and acknowledge
the truth of who He is and all He has done for them.
We believe the Church is commissioned to proclaim this Good News
of Gods unconditional love to all people, inviting them
to recognise Jesus Christ as Lord God and to awaken to the gift
He has already won for them. Our mission is to make known the
goodness of God and the finished work of Christ, trusting that
as people hear and believe, they will enter into the fullness
of the life Jesus purchased for them.
4. Salvation
We believe that salvation is a free gift from God, received by
faith through Jesus Christ alone. It includes forgiveness, healing,
restoration, and eternal life. This new life is marked by a realization
of the truth of Gods love and being transformed by the renewing
of our mind, to the mind of Christ and consequently His salvation
is manifested not only in the spiritual but seen as a transformed
life in all aspects of life.
5. The Church
We believe in the one universal Church the Body of Christ
to which all true believers belong. The local church is
called to be a family of worship, discipleship, prayer, restoration,
and mission.
6. The Holy Spirit
We believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit, who empowers
believers to live holy lives, grants spiritual gifts for ministry,
and leads the church into all truth. The Holy Spirit is the churchs
daily guide and helper.
7. Identity and Purpose and sending
We believe each person is created in the image of God, and that
in Christ, every believer can come to know their true identity
and purpose. We seek to help each person flourish in who God created
them to be, healed and restored by His love.
We believe revival is not just about gathering people, but about
raising and releasing them helping them discover their
God-given gifts and callings so they may be equipped and sent
out to advance the Kingdom of God wherever He leads. Just as Jesus
made disciples by both calling and sending them, we seek to do
the same preparing people not only to follow, but to become
fishers and healers of men.
8. The Return of Christ
We believe in the future personal return of Jesus Christ to establish
His kingdom fully. He will judge the living and the dead and bring
justice, peace, and everlasting life to those who are His.
9. The Kingdom Now
We believe that the Kingdom of God is not only a future promise
but a present reality. Jesus taught us to pray, Your Kingdom
come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and
we believe this reflects His intention for the Church not
to wait passively for His return, but to actively advance His
Kingdom here and now.
