We aspire to live out purpose by:
We are dependent on God through prayer to make things happen.
We seek to do a few things well… less events and more ministry in the natural rhythms of life.
We are all on a journey of transformation. We celebrate momentum over destination and inspire through grace rather than shame.
We realise that God has called us to represent Him at home, in our communities, with friends, and in the world’s dark places.
This is Jesus’ party and we are His followers, privileged to prepare the party and invite the guests. We design our environments to not only be relevant for us but for those who have yet to come.
We do life together in groups, ministry in teams, and serve our community in partnership with others.
We invest in the next generation and give influence to emerging leaders, allowing us to stay effective for generations.
We are intentionally diverse, believing that the mix of generations, ethnicities and cultures help create the rich unity Jesus prayed for.
As the agents of God’s redemption on this broken planet, our effectiveness is measured by both personal and community transformation.
We go first to the Bible for everything we do. We consider serious and intentional application of Bible teaching to be of the utmost importance.
The church invests in local mission to our community and also in global mission.
We support mission both globally and locally through the Auckland City Mission, Church Army, Anglican Trust for Woman and Children, Anglican Missions Board, NZCMS, amongst others.
