About Us

Dear LifeWay family,

What an amazing journey LifeWay has been on so far. To see God’s power at work through ordinary people, prepared to move, serve and do ministry together is wonderfully exciting. To see the unity, generosity, and faith-filled willingness to ‘have a go’ is truly inspiring. It is incredibly humbling to be part of a community who are

LIVING Jesus' love | SHARING His hope with all | GROWING in grace together

So are you ready to ‘take-off’ on the next decade of our journey at LifeWay and see what God has planned for us and through us? You are not here by accident. God has led you to this place, at this time, with your gifts to be part of realising the vision to which he has called us. To be A vibrant, multi-ethnic Christian Church equipping and empowering disciples of all ages in advancing his Kingdom locally and globally, by living fully, sharing boldly, and growing purposefully in the life-transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

God has given you a boarding pass to go on a journey:

- Beyond where you have been before.

- Beyond the limits you have imposed on yourselves.

- Beyond the limits you have let others impose on you.

For as we believe the truth of Jesus, practice the way of Jesus, and grow in the life of Jesus we can step out boldly in faith and trust knowing: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 2 Corinthians 2:9

ONE MISSION ... making disciples of all nations

ONE COMMUNITY ... serving and impacting in multiple locations

MANY JOURNEYS ... celebrating each person’s unique giftedness

TOGETHER – living, sharing and growing

LifeWay, you’re cleared for Take-Off! Which plane will you board? What stopovers will you make? How far will you let his love take you?

God, prepare our hearts for what you have for us next and give us a heart of faith to go where you call us to go. Amen.

11

DEC

GALATIANS 2:20.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
