Our Core Values.

Presence Of God.
We want to purposely cultivate a hunger for God’s presence. We believe that God delights and desires to be with us as we worship and focus on Him. We want to cultivate a lifestyle of recognising his presence in our daily lives. We want to be a people burning on fire for Jesus, desiring to meet with Him.
Psalm 73:28, Psalm 16:11, John 5:19-20.
-
Jesus At The Centre.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only saviour. Jesus is our priority and our focus is on him. We want to know him and be more like him in every area of our lives.
John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, Colossians 1:18
-
Goodness Of God.
We believe God is a good father, who we can trust in every circumstance. The enemy wishes to steal, kill and destroy whereas Jesus came to give us an abundant life.
John 10:10, Psalm 103:8-13, Romans 8:28-32
-
All Things Are Possible.
We believe that with God all things are possible. There is nothing too difficult for God. We believe in a supernatural God who is able to turn any situation for good.
Matthew 17:20, Acts 2:17-18, Luke 1:37, Ephesians 3:20, Jeremiah 33:27
OUR STORY.
It all began with a single step of obedience in March 2008: pursuing Jesus ministering to the Chinese community. What started as a small group of pioneers meeting for a translated Sunday service has grown to many lost souls saved, meeting together across three services.
We believe everyone is created to be extraordinary. God has created each and every person uniquely and He has a destiny and plan for us. Our mission is to equip the saints, to be effective disciples and faithful witnesses for Jesus.
OUR Milestones
We honour and celebrate how God has guided and led our church.We believe that as we remember our significant milestones, we are recognising God’s hand in our lives and looking forward to being used by Him in an even greater measure.
Our Staff.
BOBBY SUNG
SENIOR PASTOR
Pastor Bobby first encountered the Lord in Christmas 1986 after a friend shared the gospel with him. After receiving and accepting Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour, he was filled with an earnest desire to share his newfound faith with everyone he met. His zeal and passion for the Lord inspired his family to know and follow Jesus Christ.
Shortly after his conversion, it became apparent that the Holy Spirit had baptised him in a completely unique and extraordinary manner. After being filled with the Spirit, Pastor Bobby found himself naturally evangelising and ministering in a variety of supernatural spiritual gifts. Since the day of his salvation, the fire of God has burned incessantly in his heart. This is reflected in the rapid growth of his ministry as his passion for Jesus continues to ignite, inspire and touch the lives of many.
In January 1999, he gave up his business in response to God’s calling for him to serve in full-time ministry. His greatest passions are reaching out to the lost, nurturing new believers and training passionate leaders of the Kingdom.
Pastor Bobby has three grown-up children. His wife serves the Lord alongside him as a great and powerful intercessor in the church.
