ADELAIDE is full of followers of Christ
who have the desire to see this beautiful city
saturated in the Gospel.
Our Vision is to see recognisable Christ-Centred Communities in every suburb throughout the greater Adelaide.Imagine what it would look like to have Kingdom families scattered throughout Adelaide, who are tangibly living out the Gospel, showing and sharing the truth of Jesus to one another and those who are not yet followers.
Communities where all people—ages and stages of life—can belong; Where Gospel is experienced, learnt, modelled and shared; And where serving and blessing is practised throughout the week. This can be done. But not while churches operate as franchises, competing with one another. The Church is neither a building, nor is she a set of doctrines. There is one Church, one Bride of Christ, one family of God. We are called to unite and honour Christ's beloved bride. The Church will meet in different ways and gather in different places, but she is still one family. |

Healthy Kingdom families share 3 distinctives
Christ-CentredWe sit with Jesus, our Saviour and Lord. We are his and we shape our lives around his ways, his truths and the very life of Christ.
|
Gospel-FluentWe gather around the Gospel showing and sharing it to one another. We sit under the authority of Scripture as the Spirit leads and guides.
|
Family-LifeWe learn and grow in the context of Family. Loving one another through life-on-life discipleship, we walk together following Christ.

Church Gathers
We gather in a number of ways and believe that regular gatherings are a great way for the church families around Adelaide to be the Body of Christ. These times are valuable spaces to share communion, practice speaking the gospel into each others lives, to pray together, learn from the Scriptures, and worship together as the people of God. The word Ekklesia (Church) literally means "gathered one", so we gather as a body where each member is expected to participate and play a part. As a family of families to grow together in the truths of the Gospel. We gather with purpose.
Church Scatters
Kingdom families are the primary way we see the Church being the church. These Christ-centred communities are scattered all over the city, enjoying life together as the people of Jesus. These families are centred around the mission of Christ: to live as a family of the kingdom, together reflecting Jesus and being fruitful through the leading of the Spirit. We serve and bless those around us as families that being transformed by the Spirit, welcoming all into the kingdom and practising gospel fluency. Eating, celebrating, grieving and learning together as part of life-on-life, disciple making, discipleship.
