Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus is the Son of God, who died and rose again, and that through him anyone can come to God.
Our faith
What we believe
This is the ground the church stands on. It is written plainly on purpose — you should not need a church background to understand what we hold to.
“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
In short
Christ at the centre
We are a Christian church. We believe that God made us, that we have all turned away from Him, and that He came to us in His Son, Jesus Christ — who lived, died on the cross for our sin, and rose again.
Everything else on this page follows from that. We are not asking you to agree with all of it before you come. We are telling you plainly what you will hear when you do.
Plainly, this is where we stand
What we hold to
The Bible
We believe the Bible is God’s word — living, trustworthy, and the guide for how we live and what we teach.
Grace
Salvation is a gift. It is not earned, deserved or bought — it is received, exactly as we are, from a God who gives it freely in Christ.
The Holy Spirit
We believe God is at work among us by His Holy Spirit — helping us to understand Scripture, to pray, and to live as followers of Jesus. When we gather, the Spirit is welcome to do what only He can do.
Prayer
We believe God hears us. We pray together for healing, for families, for work and visas and worry — and we expect him to answer.
Healing
We pray for healing. We lay hands on those who ask, and we ask God to do what He alone can do — for bodies, for minds, for families. We leave the outcome with Him, and we keep praying either way.
The church
The church is not a building or a service time. It is the people who belong to Jesus Christ, gathered around Him. We meet because He is worth meeting for, and everyone who comes is welcome among us.
How it is taught
Opened, read and applied
None of this stays on a page. Every Sunday the Bible is opened and preached — not motivational talks with a verse attached, but Scripture explained plainly enough for a new believer to follow and applied honestly enough that it costs something.
If you would like to hear how this church teaches before you visit, every service is on our channel.
Your word is truth.John 17:17
Hear it for yourself
A page can only tell you what a church believes. A Sunday will show you. We gather at 4:00 PM at 11 Tironui Road, Papakura — come with an open heart, and bring your questions with you.
