Hope Stories

Part of our vision is to be a socially active church that is a catalyst for positive change in the spheres of business, law, government, the media, education and social justice. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus tells us to let our light shine before others, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.

Below are some links to stories, videos and images that demonstrate “Hope in action” and the impact we seek to have in our community.

Whilst it was only 1 day, the outcomes were phenomenal and equated to approximately 600 ‘man-hours’.
