There’s a common saying that goes: “If we don’t know where we’re going, the odds are we’re likely to end up somewhere that we don’t want to be“.
This adage is true for organisations, businesses, people and churches.

Why is this important to know? This Sunday, we taking the opportunity to engage with a very simple mission tool/philosophy known as CREED. It’s purpose is to help us be intentional about Jesus’ command of making disciples: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” – Matthew 28:19

This Great Commission is our mission as Christians – It’s where we’re meant to be heading. CREED is a way to help us accomplish what Jesus has set before us. Therefore, we’d love to see you at Church this Sunday as we explore CREED together.

MORE THAN BACON – MEN’S BREAKFAST

Nothing is impossible for God.
Jordan Mclaughlan’s live-streamed story is one of brokenness, redemption, hope and restoration. He was a drug addict with a $2,000 a week meth habit. His parents prayed for him every day. They introduced him to a Christian recovery centre where, months later, he sought help.
Today Jordan is clean and sober, a leader in his church, works at the recovery centre and leads a life group called Unexpected Hope. Through this life group, Jordan supports drug addicts and gang members to make positive change in their lives, helping them find purpose and hope.
Jordan says, “This is all possible through Jesus who changed my life. All I did was surrender to Him. There is still hope in this world and that hope is found in Jesus.”
