Who Are We & what do we do?
Vision is where we are headed, and values are what will take us there!
At Northridge Church one of our core beliefs is that the Word of God is Living and Active and with God's help we will endeavour to shape and fashion our lives (individually and in our togetherness) upon it?s undeniable truth. We see in the Bible local churches governed by the Elders (Pastors) working in team with the Deacons and the saints (every born- again believer) in team with and making themselves accountable to the Apostolic/Prophetic Team. (Phil 1:1)
As a church it is our primary vision to GO and see disciples made of every nation, tribe and tongue as Jesus commands us to do, in His power. (Matt 28)
We work together with NCMI (New Covenant Ministries International) an Apostolic/Prophetic team along side thousands of other local churches that relate to the team from over 70 countries. Our relationship with the team is founded on shared Biblical values and a shared understanding of what a New Testament Church is, and what it is that God has called the Church to do. It is an exciting thing that we can ALL be a part of. Whether we GO ourselves or support the work in giving of our prayer, time and resources we can be vitally involved in the BIG picture of Letting His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, to speed our King's return!
Our Vision
1. To see the church, restored to a balanced place of Theology AND Power, The Word WITH Wonders. Not leaning one way at the expense of another!
2. To see the saints (every believer) equipped and released to serve God in all their creative giftings, with freedom to be themselves.
3. To see the suburbs of Adelaide bursting with God's joy and peace as we honour and love one another the way God loves us.
4. To see every nation, every tribe and every tongue praising Jesus Christ - serving Him all the days of their lives.
5. To be a significant 'base church' able to give MORE people and MORE finances into the world-wide work we are involved in.
6. To plant out other local churches in other regions of our city, our country and the world (do it all again).

Our Values
We believe that values are not reflected in what you say, but by what you do. The following are some key values we hold as a church and our heart is to DEMONSTRATE these things where ever we go, by God's grace and aid. Our values are all from what we read in God's Word (the Bible).
We believe in One God. He exists in Three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
We believe that every believer (every man, woman and child who gives their lives to Jesus) is made a 'priest' (1 Peter 2:9). This means we can have a personal relationship with God, no longer seperated from His presence by our sins. We can hear God's voice and begin to walk in the great plans He has for our lives (Jeremiah 29:24) - to be a blessing to our city, our country and to see the fame of Jesus spread through-out the ends of the earth! (Matthew 28)
We believe that the way to effectively fulfill these plans is by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and the Truth of God's Word. The New Testament scriptures clearly model a church that was full of the power of the Holy Spirit who used ordinary people (like you and I) to live extraordinary lives of impact and eternal significance in God. Constantly seeing the power of God change lives, heal the sick, declare good news to all, bringing freedom to the oppressed and knitting the lonely into His family!
