Life Church is a family on mission; to welcome people home to God, raise fully devoted followers of Jesus and bring transformation to our neighbours, our nation and the nations.

Our Values

DISCIPLESHIP - Full devotion to Jesus is the goal and so together we seek to encounter God, be transformed into His likeness and equipped to live for Him.

SCRIPTURE - The Bible is the inspired word of God that tells the story of God and humanity which centres on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and culminates with the renewal of all things. Therefore we humbly study Scripture to discover Jesus and our part in His plan for creation.

PEOPLE - People are our priority and so our welcome is warm, we make room for all ages, build a culture of care and actively serve those in need in our community and beyond.

LEADERSHIP - Servant leadership is the only kind of leadership and so we support and develop people to lead the Jesus way in their families, work, communities and the church.

PARTNERSHIP - The mission is too big for any one person, organisation or church to achieve and so we partner with God, each other and others to see His Kingdom come here on earth as it is in heaven.

PARTICIPATION - We all have a part to play and so we invite everyone to contribute generously; through serving, financial giving, missional opportunities and ministering to others.

CONTEMPORARY - The good news about Jesus remains unchanged after centuries, whilst the methods of sharing that good news have adapted over time and so we are committed to a contemporary style in order to reach people today.

EXCELLENCE - Excellence can honour God and inspire people and so we do the best that we can with what we have in what we do and the way that we do it.

“But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God’s instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you—from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted.”

1 Peter 2.9 -10 - The Message

Father God,

As we seek to be a Family on Mission, help us to embrace others and welcome them into your family. Give us the grace and strength to live our lives for you and to share your love with others. We thank you that you have called us, chosen us and accepted us. Help us to see where you are at work in our world, give us the faith and courage to go where you want us to go and to reach who you want us to reach. May we be a family on mission that brings faith, hope and love to the world around us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
