Jesus is the truth about God, He is the exact representation of the Father, and He is the truth about us – as He is so we are in this world.
We have a high value for the Word and believe we need to be living both in Spirit and in Word – the Word and Spirit need to be married together.
Worship is a response to truth – He is looking for people who will worship in spirit and in truth. We are a church who values prayer as not just asking but communing with our Father.
We place a high value on seeing Christ formed in a person’s life to be able to reproduce Christ in someone else everywhere they go. Life-on-life is of high value as we see disciples made and reproduced.
From the beginning God wanted family. That is why He created us and called Himself Father. We love doing life-on-life together; the more heaven is released the more we look like family.
We are all called to be missionaries everywhere we go. Whether that is in Thailand or in Lilydale we are a sending and receiving church: both local and global.
