Our Mission:

Growing lives connected to Christ, His Cause and Community.

The mission of LifeUC is directly connected to the final words of Jesus to His followers in the Great Commission

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And sure I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Matthew 28:18-20

1. We are connected to Jesus Christ.

We are His disciples, and we follow Him.

2. We are connected to His Cause.

We seek to obey the Great Commission.

3. We are connected to Community.

Our church community, our local community and the international community.

This is why we exist as a church.

“Go and make disciples of all nations” is the command given to us. Life UC aims to take the message of hope that Jesus offers to all the earth, locally, nationally and internationally.

Our Strategy

How we outwork our mission

We continue to tell people about Christ.
We believe reaching out to diverse people who do not know God is one of our most significant responsibilities. Our services are designed for people at all stages in their spiritual journey, focusing on those who do not yet have a genuine relationship with God.
His intent was that now through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known… according to His eternal purpose. Ephesians 3:10
We use all wisdom to counsel.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Galatians 5:1
This is best facilitated through Life Groups, (small community groups). The primary goal of our Life Groups is to identify the spiritual condition of group members and walk beside them, leading them closer to God.
Life Groups Provide three things:
- A place to belong
- A place to protect — you look out and care for each other
- A place to grow — learn together and encourage one another
Teaching every person.
We believe in equipping every person for life and ministry. We want to see people grow in their faith, overcome obstacles and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding.  Hebrews 6:1 (NLT)
The Christian walk is a lifelong journey; we believe everyone has a next step.
Everyone has a next step in following Jesus.
We are trying to bring everyone before God as people who have grown to be spiritually mature in Christ.
God creates us to make a difference in the lives of others. We believe your life will only make sense once you find, develop, and fulfil that God-given purpose and calling.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28 (NLT)
Life was not meant to be done alone. It was designed by God to be enjoyed with others. Serve Teams are a great way to connect and help advance the mission of LifeUC.

Our statement of Faith

We believe in God, who is eternal and self-existent, revealed as one being in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the Creator of all things.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, ministering in teaching, healing, and miracles. He was crucified and died on our behalf. He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, where He is now seated and exalted at the right hand of the Father as the risen Lord and Intercessor.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, fully divine, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. He convicts, regenerates and sanctifies, and guides believers into all truth.
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired and infallible Word of God and our highest authority for faith and practice.
We believe that God created the universe and that all people are created in the image of God, to love and worship God.
We believe in the existence and person of the devil, who actively opposes the purposes of God.
We believe that all people have rejected God through their sinful acts and are separated from God.
We believe that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone who—by His suffering, shed blood, death on the cross, and resurrection—has made full atonement for the sins of all people. We receive salvation by grace through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Church, the body of Christ, is the community of people who confess faith in Jesus Christ. While universal, the Church is local in expression and witness. It exists for worship, fellowship, evangelism, discipleship, and mission. Gifts of ministry are given by Christ to strengthen and mature the Church.
We believe in water baptism by single immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is a public declaration of a person’s faith in, and identification with, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We believe in the Lord’s Supper, which is in symbolic remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ until He returns.
We believe in the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts people of their sin and inspires repentance and faith. The Holy Spirit transforms believers into the likeness of Jesus Christ.
We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is a transformative experience, distinct from and subsequent to salvation. It is available to all believers and accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in tongues. It results in empowerment for effective witness to the world.
We believe that the Holy Spirit imparts spiritual gifts to believers for ministry to one another, the Church and the world.
We believe that God heals today through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. By praying in faith for healing and miracles we witness to and continue the ministry of Jesus Christ.
We believe in, and look forward to, the imminent and personal return of Jesus Christ to gather His people to Himself, and to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the resurrection of the body. All who believe in Jesus Christ will have everlasting life in the presence of God; those who reject Him will have eternal separation from God. It is the call of all believers to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ until He returns.
