ABOUT MACQUARIE

Macquarie Life Church is a vibrant multigenerational church.

Our Vision Towards Christ is outworked as we

Look Up, Lean in and Reach Out.

Our mission is to build the Kingdom of God in our Community and the Nations

OUR VISION

 
 
 
 

Our vision at Macquarie is 'Towards Christ'.

We believe the mandate for the church is given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19 'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and Son and of the Holy Spirit'.
 
This statement is our mandate. We become disciples and we make disciples by sharing God's love with others.

OUR MISSION

 

Our mission is to bring others ‘Towards Christ’, as we show kindness to others, and share the message of the hope of Jesus.

We do this through three categories:

KINGDOM - Investing in people and projects that directly share the message of Christ. This includes supporting missionaries, church pastors and scripture teachers, locally and across the world.

COMMUNITY - Showing kindness and caring for those in need in our community. Through Macquarie Care, we run programs that support those suffering financial hardship, homelessness, disadvantaged circumstances, or simply those that need support and connection.

NATIONS - Supporting projects that provide hope to those who cannot speak up for themselves, in some of the poorest nations around the world. These projects include supporting orphans and widows in India and Sri Lanka, serving the poor in the Pacific Islands, and a crisis home, education and medical support in Northern Nigeria.

MY DISCIPLESHIP

 

As Jesus lived his life, he lived it from three aspects; looking up at his father, leaning in to his close friends and followers, and reaching out to a broken and lost world. We see this as a great example of the best way for us to be more like Him. These three components of discipleship are taught by Christ in Matthew 22:37, as he commands us to love God (UP) and love each other (IN and OUT).

To help you on your journey, we have planned these three components, as our strategy for you to move towards Christ, and to bring hope to the world around you.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Macquarie Life Church is affiliated with the Australian Christian Churches.

  • WE BELIEVE that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.

  • WE BELIEVE in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things.  He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  He is totally loving and completely holy.

  • WE BELIEVE that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

  • WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ, as both God and man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God.  He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

  • WE BELIEVE that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

  • WE BELIEVE that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues, which is often evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.

  • WE BELIEVE that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

  • WE BELIEVE that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

  • WE BELIEVE that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
