Bellbowrie Community Church exists to introduce people to Jesus and make them His fully devoted disciples who respond to God’s grace in worship and service.
Bellbowrie Community Church is called a Place of GRACE. What does this mean and what does it look like? According to the Macquarie Dictionary grace means a disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill rendered by one who need not do so; favour of God. In the name of Jesus this is what Bellbowrie Community Church aims to be.
We exist to introduce people to Jesus and make then His fully devoted disciples who respond to God’s grace in worship and service.
The church is aimed at the people of the Bellbowrie district, and those with whom we all build relationships.
A fully devoted disciple of Jesus is one that:
- Worships God - privately alone with God and corporately in both a small group and large gatherings.
- Lives by God's Word - understands the Bible as the authority for all areas of life.
- Contributes to God's Work- Discovers and develops their gifts and abilities to serve the Body through the contribution of time, financial support and relational influence.
- Impacts God's World - Reaches out first to their friends who do have a relationship with God by praying, giving verbal witness, and inviting them to Church events. Their world is the one they are in and to impact.
