Our Vision
Our Goal is to live the love of Jesus from here to the horizon. 1 John 4 calls us to live a life of love, modelled by God and then by Jesus. Our church hope to do this through the following ways.
To support a global mission strategy that is transformational and person. Mission is central to our action and thinking. We want to make Sunday’s rejuvenating. Sunday should be spiritually invigorating and Christ-centred.
We want to make following Christ the centre of what we do. Not just information but spiritual formation, developing a devotional culture. We want to invest into families and increase bridges to families in the community. Finally we want people to feel welcomed and loved, as a community embracing our vision and living the love of Jesus!
Northgate Ministries is an independent Christian church officially affiliated with Churches Of Christ NSW: www.freshhope.org.au
Our History
A Church of Christ church has existed at Belrose since the 1950’s a church born from a desire to seek restoration and unity. In 2004 that vision was born again under Paul and Renee as Northgate Church.
In 2022 we appointed our new Senior Pastor Duncan Robinson. Duncan shares that same vision for unity, restoration and mission to share that love of Jesus with the community here at Belrose.
Church of Christ Churches are diverse in expression but share a commitment to the Lordship of Jesus and to the simplicity of New Testament Christianity. We desire and seek unity among the broader body of Christ in order that we might bear witness to his grace and glory.
Simplicity and Transformation sit at the core of what that church is, taking our queues from Jesus. Put simply we are team Jesus. To find out more about our movement head to https://ccnswact.org.au
