About Us

The movement of our church does not turn inward. It moves outward through the lives of people who have discovered Jesus. Here, making Jesus known is not confined to formal evangelism or church programs. We are raising up a community of people whose lives are the message.

Who We Are

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • God

    There is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • The Bible

    The Bible is God's inspired and authoritative Word.

  • Jesus

    Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, who lived, died, rose again, and will return.

  • Salvation

    Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ.

  • The Holy Spirit

    The Holy Spirit empowers believers to live for Christ and serve His Church.

  • The Church

    The Church is God's family, called to worship Him, make disciples, and proclaim the gospel to the world.

Our Values

We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love God, love others, and share the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Authenticity

We believe in being true to ourselves and others. Authenticity is the foundation of genuine relationships within our community. We encourage vulnerability, honesty, and transparency in all aspects of our interactions. By embracing our true selves, we create a safe and welcoming space for everyone to belong.

Connection

Building meaningful connections is at the heart of what we do. We strive to cultivate a strong sense of community where individuals can forge deep relationships with one another and with God. Through fellowship, support, and unity, we aim to create a network of interconnected lives that uplift and empower each other.

Storytelling

Every life is a story waiting to be shared. We value the power of storytelling as a means to inspire, educate, and empathize. By listening to and honouring each other's stories, we celebrate the diversity of experiences that make up our community. Through storytelling, we also discover the story of God which is the ultimate story of love that enfolds us all!

Moving Forward

While honouring our past and present, we also look towards the future with hope and purpose. We believe in personal growth, continuous learning, and positive change. By embracing innovation, adaptability, and resilience, we strive to evolve as individuals and as a community. Together, we move forward with faith and determination.

These values guide us in all we do at Ringwood Community Church, shaping our programs, interactions, and mission to better serve and connect with our community.

We do not have a youth program at this time, but can assist in helping you find one if you’d like. We value the Kingdom of God, not the kingdom of our building.

  • What are your beliefs and doctrines?

    The best way to see more on this is our about section here or by getting in contact with us for a more in-depth discussion. We are always happy to answer any and all questions.

    Above all we welcome unity amidst diversity within our Church so even if you do not align fully with us you are more than welcome to join us.

  • Who leads your Church?

    This is a great question! Of course, first and foremost we submit to Christ as Lord but in the worldly sense of this word we have an interesting structure that stems from our heritage as a brethren church and the strong belief that there is a ‘priesthood of all believers’.

    We are lead by an Eldership, Board and our Pastors who all work together as a team and cover different areas.

  • Community and Small Groups

    We believe in the community outside of a Sunday. Although Sundays are great, there is more to life than what we can cover in any given Sunday, and perhaps more importantly it is hard to live life together as a group of 100, but it is much easier to be real with a smaller group.

    We call these groups Connect Groups, if you would like to join one jump over to the Next Steps page to learn more!
