What We Belive
As a church we exist for mission. Our three key pillars are Mission, Community, and Formation and Jesus is central to all. Worship is the foundation which powers our forward momentum in these three areas.
Community
We are committed to being present to God, self and others; this is community. Community looks like welcome, hospitality, care, wellbeing, connection, and belonging.
Mission
We are committed to living for others and seeking the flourishing of all people and communities. Mission looks like demonstrating mercy and compassion, pursuing justice, being active in advocacy and in wholehearted witness.
Formation
We are committed to being transformed by the Holy Spirit and helping others experience spiritual transformation. Formation looks like learning, growing, experiential and spiritual practices, accountability, prayer, scripture.
Our Values
Authenticity – living in ways that are consistent with our beliefs and values
Humility – seeing ourselves honestly
Diversity – celebrating the richness of our differences
Inclusion – welcoming everyone
Unity – holding what we can in common

Safe Places
We are committed to being a safe organisation. As an affiliated church within Churches of Christ in Victoria and Tasmania, we are being proactive in reducing risk for children, young people and adults, particularly the most vulnerable. We value diversity and will not tolerate discriminatory behaviour or abuse of any kind. We will continue to train and equip our leaders for the safety of all within our influence.

Life Groups for Incarnational Living
Life groups are central to our experience of community care. They are small clusters of encouragement, support and prayer, which help us to be engaged in discipleship and mission.
