Our Mission

Life is charged with opportunity, challenge and responsibility and we do need some stepping-stones in order to fulfil our God-given purpose. We want to stay on course and bring vision to reality. We therefore believe that a healthy framework will strengthen, support and direct us, in both life and ministry, in ensuring that we will be all that God asks us to be.

As a result, we are a community of Christ followers who are empowered by the Holy Spirit, grounded in the truth of Scripture, and marked by love. We are united in a shared mission to see lives transformed by Jesus Christ.

We cannot fulfil Christ’s mission alone. We are a church because God wants us to be together. And He desires us to represent Him with our unified diversity. Were it not for God in Christ we would not be a Body of Believers who are able, in His strength, to make an impact within the world. Our goal together, therefore, is to further His kingdom within our midst and to work to extend His kingdom worldwide. This work is not complete because we are a functioning Body – we are a functioning Body so that we can faithfully reflect Him to the world. Our vision statement (above) is our expression of why we exist as a church. This is the overarching statement that drives us forward in our Lord’s name, and it is what we believe to be God’s design for Wyong Baptist Church.

We believe that it is God’s plan to continue to build us into an open and loving faith community of devoted followers of Jesus that reflects the Hope, Help and Healing of the Kingdom. We believe this is a community where Christ is the Head, the Holy Spirit is an active presence, and the Gospel is proclaimed in word, sign and deed. This is as it is expressed in Jesus’ mandate for the kingdom in Luke 4:18-19.
