OUR BELIEFS & CORE VALUES

At LifeWay we are committed to living, sharing, and growing as empowered disciples of Jesus Christ. Our belief that Jesus Christ is the Saviour, who has reconciled us to God through his death on the cross, guides and motivates our actions as a church. As disciples we are called to follow Jesus with our lives. Discipleship is an intentional pursuit as we seek to walk Jesus’ way and become more and more like him each day.

Here at LifeWay our spiritual core values reflect that desire to embody lives of Living PRAISE which bring honour and glory to his name. You can read more about our core values in the linked documents.

Services

You were created for worship. This is the final end of all existence: the worship of God. God created the universe so that it would display the worth of his glory. And he created us so that we would see this glory and reflect it by knowing and loving it — with all our heart and soul and mind and strength. Our prayer is that having received all of God’s gracious gifts in worship that you would leave inspired to live for Jesus in your daily lives.

At LifeWay we run intergenerational worship services that includes a children’s message. Music comes from a variety of contemporary Christian music as well as some of the classic hymns that are led by one of our bands. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday.

Epping services are held every Sunday at 9.30am and Chinese Service at 11.15am

Newcastle services are held every Sunday at 9.30am

Oak Flats services are held every Sunday at 8.30am

Wollongong services are held every Sunday at 10.30am

You can also join us for livestream worship Sundays at 9.30am (AEST) at www.youtube.com/c/LifeWayLutheranChurch

VISION 2030

Dear LifeWay family,

What an amazing journey LifeWay has been on so far. To see God’s power at work through ordinary people, prepared to move, serve and do ministry together is wonderfully exciting. To see the unity, generosity, and faith-filled willingness to ‘have a go’ is truly inspiring. It is incredibly humbling to be part of a community who are

LIVING Jesus' love | SHARING His hope with all | GROWING in grace together

So are you ready to ‘take-off’ on the next decade of our journey at LifeWay and see what God has planned for us and through us? You are not here by accident. God has led you to this place, at this time, with your gifts to be part of realising the vision to which he has called us. To be A vibrant, multi-ethnic Christian Church equipping and empowering disciples of all ages in advancing his Kingdom locally and globally, by living fully, sharing boldly, and growing purposefully in the life-transforming grace of Jesus Christ.

God has given you a boarding pass to go on a journey:

- Beyond where you have been before.

- Beyond the limits you have imposed on yourselves.

- Beyond the limits you have let others impose on you.

For as we believe the truth of Jesus, practice the way of Jesus, and grow in the life of Jesus we can step out boldly in faith and trust knowing: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 2 Corinthians 2:9

ONE MISSION ... making disciples of all nations

ONE COMMUNITY ... serving and impacting in multiple locations

MANY JOURNEYS ... celebrating each person’s unique giftedness

TOGETHER – living, sharing and growing

LifeWay, you’re cleared for Take-Off! Which plane will you board? What stopovers will you make? How far will you let his love take you?

God, prepare our hearts for what you have for us next and give us a heart of faith to go where you call us to go. Amen.
