A NOTE FROM OUR SENIOR PASTOR
|
Welcome to this online part of Seeds! I’m glad you have joined us. Seeds is a thriving church that loves people. We love worship and we are passionate about life.
My name is Jonathan and I’m the Senior Pastor. I have the joy to lead the team and the church at a very significant time. We believe that God has given us a clear purpose for who we are, that we are to make a difference in our community. We are a group of people that come from all walks of life and experiences. We don’t all think the same and we are certainly not perfect. We have one big thing in common – Jesus has done something wonderful in our life, turned us from the inside out, and given us a brand new lease on life. This doesn’t mean we have it all together – far from it. Rather we are helping each other as we work it out. I would love it if you engage with us. If you come to one of our services then you will be greeted warmly, given free coffee and certainly not pressured. And by the way there is plenty for all the family from kids to grandparents and all in-between. Absolutely, we would love to see you! Rev Dr Jonathan Davies (Senior Pastor) |
WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?
|
Seeds Uniting Church holds to an orthodox understanding of faith. We believe the bible is the true and accurate word of God, we believe that Jesus who came as a human, died for our sins and on the third day rose again. We believe that through his life, death and resurrection we can have new life. We believe that the Holy Spirit speaks and guides us today.
We believe that God calls all to have a personal relationship with him and that we are equipped to serve the world. We understand that the church and all the members of the church have a God given role to play in the community. We believe that worship is important and that God speaks to us through our worship experiences. We value real relationships with each other and while this is hard in a larger gathering we place a strong emphasis on small groups. As a church we believe that we are to invite and welcome people into our church community. That we are to connect those who come and nurture all in faith. We believe that we are to equip and disciple our members and then for them to be sent and to serve the wider world. |
