Who We Are

Purposes of the Church

Jesus Taught:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind … Love your neighbour as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” (Matt.22:37-40)

“…go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matt.28:19-20)

These two commands of Christ to us as His followers can be summarised by the five words which embody the purposes of the Church:

Purposes

Purpose 1 Mission:

Go and make disciples

Purpose 2 Worship:

Love the Lord with all your heart

Purpose 3 Community:

Love your neighbour as yourself

Purpose 4 Formation:

Purpose 5 Ministry:
