We believe that Jesus calls real people to real life. Real people face life without pre­tence, rec­og­niz­ing its com­plex­ity, alert to its chal­lenge. Real people do not settle for a life of ease, drift­ing with the cul­tural current. In our ser­vices, and in doing life together, Life­point pursues some­thing better.

Life­point knows that God is Three-in-One – and that we are many. We match our diver­sity of colour, con­vic­tion and life cir­cum­stance with diver­sity in style. Com­mu­ni­ties worship with liturgy and silence; prayer gath­er­ings are vibrant with song and loud voices. What we share is a cre­ative spirit, and an urgency in worship: to give to Jesus His place as Lord among us, and to give our­selves, in every dimen­sion of life, cre­atively and without reserve, to Him.

Life­point has dis­cov­ered that real life is some­thing you do with others. Some of us choose to live in res­i­den­tial com­mu­ni­ties, sharing a common life, mod­el­ling sim­plic­ity and truth­ful­ness in their rela­tion­ships. Others meet in homes or in the Life­point build­ing, whether as ethnic groups, groups for young mums, or in “life groups” around the city. What all these share is a thirst for real life, sharing joys and sorrows openly, offer­ing real help to one another, depend­ing together on the grace and power of Jesus Christ.

Life­point is con­vinced that God has sent us into the world to be a witness for Him. For most of us the world is local: Welling­ton, our work­places, our places of edu­ca­tion, our homes. For some the world is the urban poor, in our city and beyond. For others the world is over­seas, in mission to far-flung places. Together we puzzle over how to live as wit­nesses; we pray for each other and for the nations; and we seek the renew­ing power of the Holy Spirit.
