MISSION
Avenues represent the journey to a significant destination, they are never the destination in itself. As our name suggests, we want to be a community that points people toward Jesus.
​
Our mission is to unleash God-given potential through three expressions that are core to our DNA: Intersection, Pathways, Streetlights.
VISION
To become an expanding network of missional micro-communities...
We believe that the Kingdom of God grows through devoted followers of Jesus who are filled with the Spirit and passionate about sharing and living the gospel. We see that the future of the church lies in smaller missional communities that reach out to various communities meeting their unique needs. As these groups multiply, more lives are impacted, and God's Kingdom spreads.
VALUES
THE GOSPEL is our cause
We see the Bible as the story of God moving to be with humanity.
THE SPIRIT is our guide
We partner with what The Spirit is already doing in our world.
WORSHIP is our response
We give our whole life to loving God and loving others.
MULTIPLICATION is our mission
We multiply into many by investing in one.
INCLUSIVITY is our culture
We are intentional about building bridges with people.
PATHWAYS
Community
We weren't created to do life alone and that's why we connect with each other through Pathway Groups. This is more than a weekly meeting; we journey through the highs and lows of life together in genuine community.
INTERSECTION
Worship
We gather in response to what God has done, offering our lives more fully to him. Since we recognise the goodness of God in our life, we worship Him as a community. This is about glorifying the person of Jesus as our Lord and Saviour.
STREETLIGHTS
Mission
We respond to what Jesus has done for us through word and deed as the light of the world. For us, mission is about sharing the hope that we have found in Jesus and blessing those around us.
OUR THREE EXPRESSIONS
Avenue seeks to structure its ministry around these three expressions:
