We are Reformed in our theology,
contemporary in our Sunday services,
and love following Jesus.

Since 2011, we have been an independent church located in the heart of Springfield city. As part of the global Acts 29 Network, we are a Reformed evangelical community that seeks to be culturally engaged and centred on Jesus.

Our heart is simple: to follow Jesus together. We believe following Jesus is not about religion, but about a real relationship with him that transforms every part of life. That’s why our focus is helping people behold Jesus, become like him, and belong to his family.

Our vision for the church corporately is to significantly impact the Greater Springfield area with the transforming grace of the Gospel.

Our vision for each member of the church is that they will:

• know Jesus enough to follow Him
• love God enough to obey Him
• love people enough to serve them
• trust the Father enough to risk everything to advance His Kingdom
• trust the Holy Spirit enough to let Him change them and use them for His glory

Jesus said to go and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them and teaching them to obey all His commands, so our mission is to make, mature & multiply disciples.

In reality, every member of Disciples Church is on the team. And as such, we are all led by Jesus in our personal lives, and also in our corporate life as a church. At the same time, we appoint suitably qualified people to serve in various roles within the life of the church, so that we can co-ordinate our mission, maintain accountability, and release people to use their gifts for God’s glory.

Our Missional Community Groups are where most of the day-to-day ministry happens at Disciples Church. The leaders of our groups encourage their members to grow in faith and maturity, while reaching out to not-yet-believers with the Good News of Jesus.

Working alongside the Lead Pastor is a team of staff who have various roles and responsibilities within the life of the church to lead, train and equip people for ministry. Our staff are a mix of paid, bi-vocational and volunteer workers who are committed to seeing Disciples Church established in Greater Springfield.

All major decisions and policy direction are made by the Elders of the Church who serve in a role established in the New Testament for the leadership of local churches. All Elders are actively involved in ministry and will usually be leading a Missional Community Group.
