Who we are...
Servant's Church started as a Friday night Bible study in the lounge of John & Sarah Brown. It was 31 December 2004 and the six people in attendance started a verse by verse study through the book of Genesis.
Since that time the LORD has added people from a wide variety of church backgrounds (and some with no church background) all with the simple desire to know the God of the Bible. We are a mixed lot of young and old; new believers and seasoned saints; families and single people from all walks of life and yet we consider ourselves a family of believers under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
We are blessed to be in fellowship with the Calvary Chapel Movement* but we are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations. We are simply part of the body of Christ with a specific call of ministry.
Our goals are relational:
In our relationship with GOD we desire to be Jesus Focused: We can only come to God through Jesus (John 14:6) and we can only know God because of Jesus (John 14:9). Christianity is not about ideas but about a Person; Jesus Christ. Therefore He Himself is our motivation and our message (2 Corinthians 4:5).
In our relationships with each other we desire to be People Serving: Jesus exemplified and calls us to love in action (John 13:14, 34). We want to have His mindset (Philippians 2:5-8) and follow His example by serving each other out of love (Galatians 5:13). This is the goal of our gathering together and the reason why the Holy Spirit distributes His gifts as He wills (1 Corinthians 12-14).
In our relationships within our community we desire to be Mission Driven: Jesus sent His disciples to make disciples and we are a link in that on-going chain of discipleship. (Matthew 28:19-20). We want to love our neighbours humbly and share Jesus clearly.
Our methods are simple:
As a group of believers we desire to stay focused on the same priorities as Jesus' earliest followers "And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and prayers" (Acts 2:42).
Whether you are looking for a church home or are simply curious about who Jesus is, we hope and pray you'll find the answers here.
