We passionately believe that a church is more than a building where people meet to worship once a week. The Church is the body of Christ - a living entity with a reason for being and a mission to the world. It’s about God and people and relationships. And with this in mind we seek to help people find true meaning in life as they experience:
 
Personal Transformation - By the inward working ofthe Holy Spirit, the development and practice of spiritual disciplines such as prayer, bible study, fasting and giving, through participation in a small group and discovering and using our God given gifts for service. 
Building community - "You are members of God's own family … and you belong in God's household with every other Christian."  Ephesians 2:19 We do this by connecting with other believers in real fellowship, building trust and interdependence. We welcome friend and stranger, provide assistance to those in need and seek to be generous in our support of the wider church in Tawa and beyond.
 
Community Transformation - Transforming our community is the positive outworking of the first two goals. As a church that continues to
experience the grace of God at work day by day we seek to permeate the wider community with grace and mercy witnessing to God’s Kingdom come in Christ Jesus.
 
Evangelism and Mission - Looking beyond the four walls of the church and our local community to the needs of the nation and the world abroad.
 
All this is centered around and permeated by Worship. Worship is the offering of one’s whole life 24/7. We encourage the maintenance and
growth of a deepening personal prayer life as well as seeking to offer a variety of corporate worship opportunities that manifest God’s
presence and transforming power.
 
For some time now we have used the symbol of the cross to depict these
five facets of our vision, as shown above (worship is at the centre).
