Reaching far and wide.
Our

reach.
We financially support a number of people who are out there making a difference in their place of influence both locally and internationally. You can also partner with them by giving a financial blessing that will help enable them to do the ministry they are called to do.
We support Open Doors, World Vision, World Outreach, Asia Harvest and many other organisations along with the local and international missions and missionaries listed below.
If you would like to regularly tithe, or give a one off donation to support anyone of the missions mentioned or featured below, you can set up regular or one off payments online.
Our
Local Missions.
Taste and See
We have regular cooking days where we make, package and freeze pre-cooked meals that can be taken to those in need. This is a way we can reach out into our church community and local community, so that the recipients know that people care and that they can taste and see that the Lord is good.
Christmas Boxes
Operation Christmas Child (OCC) partners with local churches in developing nations to provide children with gift-filled shoeboxes while bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to them at Christmas time. As a church we provide the opportunity to fill a box or give a financial contribution to OCC.
Church in the Park
Church in the Park is a community event held every year on the first Sunday of March, celebrating International Childrens Day. We combine with other local churches and head down to Rex Morpeth Park for a free, fun and family gala day, with candy floss, bouncy castles, gala games and so much more.
Liberty Centre
The Liberty Centre is a 400 seater auditoruim, with a second auditorium and lots of different spaces and rooms. It is used for many church activities and also community events, including hire-ages, funerals and groups. We believe our awesome facility is a vessel of blessing for our community and our church.
