Our Heart for Expansion
As we sit here and reflect on the enormity of all God has done in the last 12 months, it is humbling to know that what we have been praying, standing, declaring, and sowing faithfully into for years is now our everyday reality.
We are in awe of the people God has led into His Church - the grace- filled stories of how He has saved and set people free, restored and ignited hearts, and how, story after story, person after person, miracle after miracle, He is building His Church.
To think that God calls upon us to reflect and mirror His heart, reveal His Kingdom, and enable multitudes to discover and be transformed through His love is an honour and such a privilege to see outworked.
We really are so stoked, but we are not yet satisfied. While there are still the lost to be found, the hurting to be healed, and the lonely to be loved, we will answer the call to continually expand and see His Kingdom come and His will be done.
We live convinced that as we all play our God-led part, we WILL increasingly see our generation impacted and changed by the reality of Jesus. We are so grateful to be building His Kingdom together with you.

Our Facilities Miracle Journey
Our miracle journey unexpectedly began in October 2020 when we received notice from the landlord to vacate our current venue by March 2021. Amidst negotiations and the hunt for our next home, God had already begun working behind the scenes, weaving a miracle in motion.
In Jan 2021 one phone called changed our history forever. Our Sims St location was revealed to us for the first time and straight away we knew, God was in this. The journey has been God- breathed from the very beginning. Click below to see where it all began and follow an interactive timeline.
To impact and change our generation with the reality of Jesus.
