Saved by grace for good works...

In Ephesians 2 the staggering reality of the gospel is spelt out in these words:

It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:8-10).

Our salvation is entirely an act of God's grace. He  became a human being, died on the cross for our sins, then rose again to secure our new life in God's family. Our only contribution to this whole process was our sin!

But when He saves us God reshapes us by His Holy Spirit, re-creating us to do good works such as loving one another and serving joyfully as members of His body, the church. This form is for members of All Saints ANeW who've found forgiveness through Jesus Christ, and are looking to get involved in serving Christ and his people.

We encourage you to work through it prayerfully, complete the form and submit it. After this, one of the pastoral staff team will be in contact with you for a follow up conversation.

Opportunities to serve...

Please select any of the ministry areas you would be interested in serving in.

PRAYER

Prayer is a vital ministry in the life of church, and it undergirds absolutely everything we do. The bible talks of prayer as part of the life of all Christians, but here are some formal ways you can serve through prayer.

BELONGING

As people are welcomed at church, we want them to see something of the way Christ has loved and welcomed us. We have welcoming teams associated with each Sunday service, who love those who walk through our doors and help them connect to our community.

GROW

Growth Groups are our weekly small groups, where people build strong, edifying relationships. We meet with the same group throughout the year, studying God’s Word, praying together, and encouraging one another in the Christian life.

CARE

The gospel calls us to deeply love one another, and this will often mean caring for one another in very practical ways. There are so many ways to help, and we'd love to know if you can assist in any of these areas.

MISSION

We have such precious news of salvation in Jesus to share with our friends, neighbours and community. We also long to see the gospel taken to the ends of the earth. We are a church who prayerfully wants to share gospel hope in the Diocese of Newcastle and beyond!

TRAINING

We want to be a church that keeps growing to be better equipped in our service of one another and Christ. 

SUNDAY SERVICES

Church gatherings are the high point of our week. We come together as God’s people gathered in Christ, to hear Him address us in His Word, to sing His praises, and to bring our prayers before Him. These gatherings are the heartbeat of our life as a Christian community, sustaining and shaping the way we live out our faith.

KIDS MINISTRIES

God loves children, and calls them to follow Jesus. So our kids ministries are all about loving kids, teaching them the gospel, and training them to walk in Jesus' ways.

YOUTH MINISTRIES

A big part of youth ministry is building genuine relationships with the youth, modelling a life of faith in Jesus as we help them engage with God's Word. This includes drawing them into ministry, helping them connect to one another, as well as equipping and partnering with them in evangelism.

CURRENT NEEDS

The following are opportunities to serve that are particularly needed in our church at the moment.
