Neighbourhoods TRANSFORMED BY THE HOPE AND LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST
ABOUT NEIGHBOURHOOD
We are a new church plant in Perth, Western Australia, seeking to play our part in seeing neighbourhoods transformed by the love and hope of Jesus.
From ancient times God has consistently outworked his kingdom in and through his people. Today, as his church, we eagerly join him as he builds his kingdom here in Perth, humbly sharing his Good News, creatively revitalising our neighbourhood and confidently transforming of our city.
We are an independent church, working in partnership with SAINT and Revitalise (UK) as the first HTB network church in Australia.

DOCTRINES OF FAITH
In all our conversations on doctrine, we seek to live out “In Essentials Unity, In Non-Essentials Liberty, In All Things Charity”
APOSTLE'S CREED
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen
NICENE CREED
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen
VALUES
These are the four values that define who we are as a community.
Each value is a key that unlocks the deeper calling of our church to see the love and hope of Jesus transform our neighbourhoods.
EMPOWERMENT
Mission of Jesus
Empowerment is the unleashing of God’s divine potential in each of us. The Holy Spirit is the ultimate source of empowerment, equipping us to live as effective witnesses of Christ in the world.
Called to bring God’s hope, peace and light to our neighbourhood.
PROXIMITY
Presence of Jesus
Proximity calls us to close the gap between us and those God has placed in our path. We’re committed to seeing God’s presence work in God’s people, rooted in place and postcode.
We are rooted in place and postcode, fuelled by our time with Jesus.
ONENESS
Ministry of Jesus
Oneness is the way of the Kingdom—our reconciliation to God is the beginning of unity and reflects the high standards of the gospel itself, embodying the glory of Christ in the way we treat one another.
What unites us is infinitely greater than what divides us.
HUMILITY
Posture of Jesus
Christ is the source of our confidence and the best model of humble leadership. Because of Him, we can be both fully confident and fully focussed on serving those to whom God sends us.
How we see God will inform how we understand ourselves.
