About
Churches of Christ Vic/Tas is a network of about 130 churches and agencies that are working together towards a diversity of healthy and growing churches in Victoria and Tasmania.
CORE VALUES
The Gospel
We passionately value the good news about God as revealed to us in Jesus Christ, and are committed to the mission of communicating it and sharing it with others, making disciples who can make more disciples, and so extend the Kingdom of God.
Collaborative Ministry
We value the unique contribution to ministry of each individual believer, and are committed to equipping believers and encouraging them to participate in ministry and mission on the basis of their giftedness and capacity.
Diversity
We recognise the diverstity of Christian understanding, belief and experience, particularly in the “non-essentials” for Christian faith. Therefore, we value freedom, flexibility and creativity of a variety of ministry practice and expression.
The Scriptures
We value and affirm the centrality of the scriptures as our authority for Christian belief, identity and practice.
Social Justice
We value the dignity, equality and inherent value of all persons regardless of gender, race, economic standing or belief system. Therefore we will work for social justice, equal opportunity for all persons and the responsible care and management of the environment.
Servanthood
We value the biblical principles of servanthood and therefore seek to be a servant church committed to responding to human need.
Cooperation and Unity
We value the close fellowship, cooperation and service of all those who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Therefore, we passionately seek to promote unity in the wider church and are committed to the ultimate ideal of visible unity.
BLOG COMMENTS POLICY
We want all to feel welcome on this site. That means we will adhere strictly to a comments policy that, while valuing honesty and controversy, will not tolerate personal attacks or innuendo. The blog administrators will edit any offensive language, slander or libel, and will delete any insulting or bullying comments.

Praise God for this ‘shaking’ . As we respond by ‘getting out of the way so that God can do what He wants to do’ we may be surprised how far the shaking will extend – but our of this death new life can be birthed.
I would commend the book: ‘Re imagining Church’ by Frank Viola as one that brings something of God’s heart to our attention as we ask what truly ‘organic’ Church would look like.
