Our mission

Connect with Life: Revive, Restore, Release

Our mission at C3 Church Bathurst is to connect people to God, the source of life.  People are revived by Jesus, restored to God the Father and released by the Holy Spirit into lives of purpose and destiny.

Vision & Values

1. Life-giving Words

God speaks to people today.  His word is life giving with the power to transform lives.  Our words are encouraging and affirming, reflecting God's grace and love for us.  We promote an atmosphere of love where people are seen as Jesus sees them.

2. Presence of God

The church is a place for the presence of God to reside, an entry point for the Holy Spirit into the community, the gate of heaven.  People receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit that empowers them to live transformed lives.  Worship is engaging, reflecting the sound of the people, honouring God's presence. 

3. Value People

God loves all people and desires everyone to belong to Him.  We value and build people as ministers of Christ according to the dreams and gifts He has for them.  We are devoted to the growth and development of children, viewing them as the future of our church.

4. Connecting People to Jesus
We connect people to Jesus through relationships, everyday life experiences and contexts, the music and stories of today. 

5. Heart of the Community

Church is a 'hub' for society, the centre of people's lives. It is a place for people to belong, a positive, connecting influence for the entire community, enhancing all spheres of our local culture, including business, arts, education, families, health and government.  It is a church for the people from the people.

6. Life Together

We love life together, building God's kingdom.  People grow and develop through empowered and equipped teams.

7. Generous Life

Our lives reflect God's abundant provision for all of his people.  By faith, we seek first the Kingdom of God with generous giving of time, resources, finances and ideas, knowing that it is God who provides all of our needs.

8. Leadership Connection

Our leaders are accountable to Jesus through a wider, healthy church movement that is positioned under Godly authority. We submit to and promote the vision of C3 Church International

9. Life flowing out

Life flows out from our church, extending to our city, our region and to international influences.  We build people in all locations to raise healthy vibrant churches that connect people to Jesus Christ.
