So why are we called the Junction Church? Well, a junction is a place where roads come together. That’s a bit like our church. It’s a community where people who are on different journeys, from all walks of life, come together to get inspired, equipped and encouraged to live out their faith in everyday life. We value lots of things at the Junction Church. However, we’ve whittled it down to the 5 we value most. These are the foundation of everything we do and they represent the essence of who we are: 1) The Bible – God’s book that reveals his heart for us 2) The Holy Spirit – who empowers us to live our faith 3) Generosity – because God ‘gave’ his all for us 4) Excellence – serving people with our very best 5) Honour – choosing to act and speak well of others.
Every church has it’s own unique culture. At the Junction Church, our vibe is fresh, upbeat & young at heart. We do encouragement, not discouragement. We do faith, not cynicism. We do relationship, not religiosity. We do hope, not doom. We do passion, not passivity. We do building up, not tearing down. We do servanthood, not selfishness. We do community, not cliques. This is who we are.
