Living Faith Christian Church exists to:

Worship God, teach the Bible and lead as many people as possible to Jesus.

To teach the Word – in practical, relevant ways, staying true to the integrity and authority of the Bible, because the Truth has the power to set people free.

To disciple the church – producing Christ-followers who rightly divide the Word of truth, who can hear from God for themselves, and who have the opportunity to develop and use their God-given gifts.

To reach the lost – to create an environment where hurting, lost and wandering people can be drawn to the presence of God their Lord, Saviour, Healer and Sanctifier, and a congregation of God-honouring, Spirit-hungry, passionate men, women and children whose faith, love and joy are contagious, and who emanate the sweet fragrance of Jesus.

To bless our community – by being a spiritual beacon, a sanctuary for the power and presence of God, and ambassadors for Christ in the spirit of reconciliation, service and blessing.

Our people look like this:

PASSIONATE – We have a passion for God: to worship Him, to seek His face and to serve Him, hungry for His presence, His power and His Word.

PERSPECTIVE – We recognize that it is not about ‘me,’ but about ‘Him.’

PRINCIPLED – We can ‘rightly divide the Word of truth.’ That means we are well-grounded in the foundations of the Bible, walking in the practical truth and light of God’s Word, and able to distinguish between the transforming power of the true counsel of God and the hollow deception of worldly living.

PURE – We have determined to turn our back on the spirit of the world and the curse of sin, and to pursue holiness, godliness, integrity and the strong, Biblical love modelled by King Jesus.

PUPILS – We are disciples, Christ-followers in word and deed, moving intentionally towards maturity, able to hear from God ourselves, and helping to develop and mature the people who fall under our direct influence.

PRAYERS – We have a flourishing and fulfilling personal prayer and devotional life, and are motivated to seek the Lord corporately for an awakening of God’s people, revival in the church and repentance in the land.

POSITIVE – We are full of life, faith and joy, following the example of the Christ we serve and knowing who we are in Christ.

PURPOSE – We are people of purpose and destiny, acknowledging that God has a unique and specific plan for our lives, and are equipped and motivated to pursue that call.

PARTICIPANTS – We are a united, purposeful body of Christ-followers, with a heart to serve the Lord and each other, both in the organized function of the church and in the wider community.

PROPAGATORS – We have a heart stirred for lost and hurting people, and a consuming desire to lead them to Christ. Not only that, we know how to do so sensitively, skillfully and effectively.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full on His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace”

… that Jesus Christ is awesome: the solution to all our problems.

… that God loves everyone, values everyone and wants to have a restored relationship with everyone.

… that salvation is the gift of God to man and is freely available to all who make Him their Saviour and Lord.

… that eventually all sin will have to be judged, and that, like it or not, Heaven and Hell are real, literal places.

… that the Bible is God’s inspired Word to us, full of wisdom, instruction and truth.

… that the power of God can change us from the inside out, heal our hurts, restore our relationships, pick us up, dust us down and put us back on the path to wholeness.

… that the power of God is still displayed today, that miracles do happen, that Jesus still heals the sick, releases the captives and binds up the broken-hearted.

… that Jesus is coming back to the earth soon, bringing both judgment and liberation.
