Welcome to Ringwood Church of Christ
We believe that everyone is made in God’s image and is loved by God, regardless of background, wealth, race or creed. We welcome everyone and would love to get to know you more and hear about your story.
As a community we want to be the body of Christ in our neighbourhood, speaking the words of Christ, and acting out of the compassion and grace of Christ.
Who We Are
Ringwood Church of Christ is a community of believers that love God, love others and love our community. Our services and ministries reflect a wide and generous orthodoxy, and involve people from all walks of life. We seek to live out the gospel in the city of Maroondah in practical and transformational ways.
What We Believe
As a church we exist for Mission
Our three key pillars are Mission, Community, and Formation. 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, therefore to community. Community looks like welcome, hospitality, care, wellbeing, connection, and belonging.
Mission
We are committed to living for others, to seek the flourishing of all people and communities. Mission looks like mercy, justice, advocacy, evangelism.
Formation
We are committed to transformation, to change. Formation or discipleship looks like learning, growing, accountability, prayer, scripture, spiritual practices.
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.
