Our Mission

“We are a community being formed by the truth of God’s Word, the beauty of His Spirit, and the unity of His perfect communion.”

Resurrection is part of the ‘one holy catholic and apostolic Church’.

We hold to the historic teachings of Christian orthodoxy as articulated in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed, and are members of the EPC

Our Convictions

  • Truth has a name: Jesus

    We believe truth is not simply a set of ideas to agree with, but a Person to know and follow. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In a world of competing voices and shifting definitions of truth, we center our lives on Jesus—His words, His ways, and His vision for what it means to be fully human.

  • We are called to make visible the beauty of God.

    God created the world good and beautiful, but sin has fractured and distorted that beauty. Yet God has not abandoned His creation—He is making all things new. As followers of Jesus, we join Him in that work, bringing beauty into broken places through creativity, generosity, justice, hospitality, compassion, and lives that reflect the goodness of God.

  • We are becoming people who live like Jesus.

    Following Jesus is about more than believing the right things; it is about becoming a certain kind of person. Through the Holy Spirit, Scripture, community, and the practices of Jesus, our lives are slowly reshaped into His likeness. We want to become people who increasingly think like Jesus, love like Jesus, and live like Jesus in the ordinary moments of everyday life.

  • Jesus is what holds us together.

    We don't have to look the same, think the same, or come from the same background to belong to the same family. Our unity is not built around politics, preferences, age, ethnicity, or social status—it is built around Jesus. In a culture increasingly defined by division, we want our life together to demonstrate the reconciling power of the Kingdom of God.

As a church, we have 4 core convictions:

  • Resurrection has a firm belief in the role of women in all levels of leadership. We believe that women and men are equally gifted and qualified to lead and serve as co-laborers in the church. We therefore value and actively champion the presence of both men and women at every level of church leadership.

  • At Resurrection we use the language of ‘generous orthodoxy’ regarding Human Sexuality. This means that REZ holds to the historic orthodox position of the Church (which believes sex is for the context of marriage between a man and a woman), whilst holding that space with radical generosity. We therefore seek to create spaces where there can be genuine dialogue and conversation.

We also have 2 theological distinctions:
