Welcome to BLAXLAND Church Of Christ. In the beautiful mountain region, part of the Great Dividing Range, in the west of Sydney, Australia, an innovative cell-based community of disciples is growing.
We are affiliated with the Churches of Christ in Australia, Conference of the Churches of Christ (N.S.W.)
Our mission field is the Blue Mountains 80Km due west of Sydney Australia and beyond . .
In fact the rest of the world ! We sponsor 12 children in the Khayelihle children's Orphanage just outside Bulawayo in Zimbabwe.
OUR VISION:
To be a caring and compassionate Christian family reaching into our community bringing people to Christ; and to become a significant ministry of our Lord, effecting change in the lives of leaders and members of the wider community, through the work of the Holy Spirit.
OUR MISSION:
Through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, to be His instruments to bring people into a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus and to nurture them as they grow in their faith.
OUR VALUES:
We value personal honesty, integrity and commitment. These values are foundational to effective Christian growth, discipleship and leadership.
We value personal spiritual growth through a saving relationship with Christ and the application of biblical principles to all of life. The Bible is the Christian guide for living, and the Christ-like character is what we believe all Christians must strive for.
We value people for who they are, and abhor prejudice in all its forms. God loves and accepts people unconditionally, and calls us to do the same.
We value a deep sense of church family, and a commitment to minister and sustain those who are hurting or in need. We seek relational wholeness and genuine community. The local church is the appropriate Christian family to experience this.
We value the joyful appreciation of God and his blessings, and we desire to worship Him in Spirit and truth.. We value the freedom to enjoy the ministry of His Spirit and to celebrate His presence in our lives.
We value godly stewardship of all our resources, and generosity in their allocation to specific needs. Sacrificial giving reflects God’s heart, strengthens our faith and allows ministry and mission to flourish.
We value significant prayer to God and the expression of His love, mercy and grace through the ministry of the church. Prayer is essential to Christian maturity, growth, and healing. Prevailing prayer empowers us to achieve our God-given purpose.
