ABOUT US
OUR BELIEFS
- We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.
- We believe in one loving and eternal God, the Creator of all things, who exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
- We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross in our place, and rose again to empower us for life.
- We believe that in order to live holy and fruitful lives, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, which enables us to pray in the Holy Spirit and use spiritual gifts as found in God’s Word.
- We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives.
- We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised, having prepared a place in Heaven for every believer.
OUR PURPOSE
To establish a global movement of churches who declare the power of Jesus to this generation and display His miracles for all who are to come.
OUR PILLARS
These pillars are the core values of our family at Generation Church. They are the foundation upon which the whole House of God can be built at Generation to create a sense of ‘home’.
They are the focus of our ministries that provide guideposts along the journey of faith at Generation Church (the Generation Journey).
In our family we:
GATHER in services that provide a PLACE to find healing, hope and heaven on earth in the House of God.
BELONG to a family where we discover the power in being PLANTED, to connect with, care for and celebrate one another within an authentic community of faith.
BELIEVE that genuine contagious relationships will give space for PEOPLE to find salvation in its fullness.
SERVE to create a revolution of ‘passionate servanthood’ as we bring our time, training and talent to fulfil our PART in the body of Christ.
GROW in an environment of innovation and training that will recognise, raise and release POTENTIAL for greatness.
LEAD alongside many courageous shepherd leaders who will show people all the POSSIBILITIES of a life (heart, head, hands & habits) yielded to God’s grace and favour.
INFLUENCE throughout key areas of society that are saturated with like-spirited people whom God has strategically POSITIONED for kingdom influence.
PARTNER with our chosen community alliance, the Soul Centre, where we are activated to be the soul of our city.
GIVE as generous people who understand our prosperity has PURPOSE and invested kingdom finance has eternal reward.
PLANT Generation Churches into cities around the world with a team of faith-filled people, trained and equipped, who have an adventurous PIONEER spirit.
But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteousness, of your salvation all day long, though I know not its measure. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign LORD; I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone. Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your might to all who are to come.
Psalm 71:14
OUR PLAN
Each year at Generation Church we declare a banner over our lives.
2012 is the year of God's Presence
At the centre of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
Ephesians 1:21
Our plan for 2012:
1. STEWARDSHIP We acknowledge Christ rules the church. He is the Head over it all, He is in control, He has a specific plan for Generation Church; and preparing for our own home, we will steward the vision, the people and the finances to His glory.
“... Christ rules the church.”
2. SPIRITUAL GROWTH We will increase an awareness of God’s presence in our personal lives as we discover the power of belonging to family. We will grow in our spiritual disciplines within an authentic community of faith.
“...in which He speaks and acts”
3. SERVANTHOOD We will recognise, raise & release the potential of every individual planted at Generation Church to fulfil their part in Christ’s body with a spirit of servanthood.
“The church is Christ’s body”
4. STRENGTHEN THE SUNDAY EXPERIENCE We will grow in our love and devotion to the House of God as we experience the power of consistently gathering together in His presence each Sunday.
“...the world is peripheral to the church.”
5. STRATEGIC INFLUENCE We will strategically mobilise people for influence into key areas of society. Homes, the marketplace, education systems, sporting arenas, cultural groups, politics, and the entertainment industry will be saturated with God’s presence.
“...by which He fills everything with His presence.”
