Grounded in the Bible, compelled by love

Our core values

We express our faith in alignment with the following Core Values:

• Jesus, Saviour and Lord, is head of the church
• Scripture registers the essential salvation events of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and those ordinances necessary for holy living and the conduct of the church.
• Christian conversion is a process directed by the Holy Spirit involving nurture, personal faith, believers’ baptism, reception into the church and participation in Christian worship; in response to the grace and forgiveness offered by God.
• We live in response to the Great Commission to go into the world with the Gospel.
• The ordinances (sacraments) of Baptism and Communion demonstrate the saving experience of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus in the life of the believer.
• The Church, expressed locally and universally in the world, is uniquely the body of Christ.
• We also recognise Spirit-given special gifts of ministry that serve our Lord and the church.
• We express our life in community by:
  • participating in Christian gatherings
  • practising inclusiveness (of age, gender and ethnicity) in the leadership and ministry of the church – a ministry for all believers.
  • participating in the Association of Churches of Christ in WA, Churches of Christ in Australia, and the World Convention of Churches of Christ.
• All believers, both men and women, are ministers of God to one another through the priesthood of all believers.
• Liberty of opinion is an important principle of our relating together.
• We practise inclusiveness (of age, gender and ethnicity) in the leadership and ministry of the church, affirming strongly the role of the laity.
• Decisions are made as we together seek the mind of the Lord.

If you know Christ and/or want to know him more, then you are welcome here.
