What do We Believe?
Newtown Mission seeks to be: an open community committed to passionate worship of Jesus Christ, with sound biblical teaching and the transformation of lives through outreach, discipleship and compassionate care, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
The heartbeat of Newtown Mission is worship, which is creative, relevant and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We expect to experience the presence of God in worship and this influences all our mission activities.
We live in a post-denominational era. This means that Newtown Mission has people from a diversity of backgrounds and relates to a variety of churches with which we share common values. Our heritage is Methodist and we are a congregation of the Uniting Church in Australia.

WE VALUE WORSHIP | Worship is intimacy with God our Father, made possible through Jesus' death and the Holy Spirit who brings us into communion with Him. Worship is to love God with all our heart, soul and strength, through praise and adoration, through obedience to His Word and through serving Him with our whole lives.
WE VALUE PRAYER | Prayer, the vital force of our faith, is the communication of the child with the Heavenly Father, the disciple with the master, and the Church her Lord. Prayer asks God, seeks understanding of His will, listens, responds, and utterly depends on Him in all things. It is to live in communion with God as Jesus did.
WE VALUE FELLOWSHIP | Fellowship is obeying Jesus’ command to love one another. It is to celebrate the unity we have in being saved by the one Lord, filled by the one Spirit and equally loved by our one Father. It is to enjoy our communion with God, to grow in communion with each other & serve Him and each other.
