We are a welcoming and growing multigenerational and multicultural church with refreshing faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that refreshing faith is life-giving to the believer, surprising to the world, and strengthening to the weary and doubting.
We are an Anglican church, part of the Anglican diocese of Melbourne and the worldwide Anglican communion.
However, we believe that the church that Jesus founded is much bigger than denominations! We believe that Christianity is a relationship with God made possible through Jesus Christ. We also believe that the summaries of our doctrinal position below have practical applications and implications for our daily lives.

We believe God is one triune God, eternally existing in three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-eternal in nature, co-equal in power and glory, having the same attributes and perfections (Deut 6:4; Matt 28:19; John 1:1-5; 2 Cor 13:14).
God is the Creator and Ruler all things. In His love, grace and sovereignty, He has created the world and is sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging it (Gen 1:1; Ps 90:2; John 1:3; Heb 1:2f; John 3:16-18; Acts 17:30f).
The Bible is divinely inspired, supremely authoritative and trustworthy in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim 3:16f; 2 Pt 1:20f; Matt 5:18; John 16:12f).
God made all people in His image. We are designed to have a relationship with Him and care for His creation. Yet, we are corrupted by sin and require redemption and transformation (Gen 1:26-28; Rom 3:22f; 5:12; Eph 2:1-3).
Being the first fruits of our resurrection, through which our justification is made sure, Jesus demonstrated His power over death. He ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven (Luke 24:1-7; 1 Cor 15:3-8, 20; Rom 1:4; 4:25; Heb 1:3).
Who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, enables us to understand God and His Word, assures us of our inheritance, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness through the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit (John 16:8; 3:5f; 1 Cor 2:12-16; Eph 1:13f; 1 Cor 12:1-11; Gal 5:22).
By the grace of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 2:8-10; John 1:12; Eph 1:7; 1 Pt 1:18-21).
The body of Christ, a spiritual organism, the priesthood of all believers, both local and universal; given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love (Eph 1:22f; 5:25-27; Acts 8:1; Rom 16:16; 2 Thess 1:4; Matt 16:18; 1 Cor 15:9; 1 Cor 12:12-31).
To fulfil the purposes of God; to judge the living and the dead; to bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth (Acts 1:11; Matt 25:31; 2 Tim 4:1; 1 Pt 4:5; 2 Peter 3:12-13, Rev 20:11-15; 21:1-4).
