VISION 2025.

What we see in Christ for Alabaster Church in 2025.

Alabaster Church in 2025 is a church of “great grace.”

“With great power, the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on all of them.” (Acts 4:33)

  • We are a church that knows how to host the presence of the Holy Spirit and wisely minister the power of God. We are a church that’s led by God’s presence – a people who know how to move in the power of the Spirit in a fresh, contemporary, and relevant way.

  • We are a church of great grace and influence. Our influence is not man-made or produced by our own strategies, but it comes from the tangible reality of the presence and power of God.

  • We are a church that’s scattered across the city – skillfully and perceptively releasing the grace of God into our spheres of influence and taking territory from the kingdom of darkness.

  • Our worship gatherings are vibrant and life-giving. We are uninhibited by religion or even social norms. We are a church that basks in the presence of God. We love how God operates effectively and significantly through us, but our greatest joy is in giving Him glory in our corporate worship gatherings. Our worship gatherings bring the realities of the heavenly Mount Zion to earth (Hebrews 12:22ff), and it transforms all who join in.

  • We are a church that’s passionate about making disciples. We receive a steady stream of testimonies of lives set free and people stepping into divine purpose. The drive for and momentum of disciple-making is unstoppable, decentralised and entrusted to the congregation, as disciples make disciples who make disciples.

  • Our disciple-making is power-oriented and presence-driven. The presence of God is the distinguishing mark of our church, and the power of God bring people to faith in the truth of the Gospel (Exodus 33:15-17; 1 Cor. 2:5).

Alabaster Church in 2025 is a training ground and launching pad for Kingdom leaders.

  • We are a church with clear biblical principles of leadership, and we have strategic and relational processes that develop, build and impart these principles into leaders.

  • We start from a young age. Our commitment to raising leaders is seen in our children and youth ministries, as well as our school. Our young people are being equipped in ministry because they understand that they are strategically placed by God in their schools and universities for Kingdom impact. We will hear testimonies of lives changed from the ministry of our young people.

  • We are serious about equipping the saints for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13). We are expressing our earnest commitment to this mandate by running strategic campaigns, workshops, and the Bible College that will train, equip, and empower God’s people towards effective ministry.

Alabaster Church in 2025 is seeing the broken transformed by the grace of God.

  • In 2025, we are embracing and engaging with broken people and helping them restore their lives towards freedom and purpose, stability and significance in Jesus’ Name. We have trained and Spirit-led leaders who are engaging with broken people by the grace of God in Connect Groups and Freedom Ministry.

  • We are a church intercedes for the broken, the oppressed, the prisoners and captives of the enemy – in prayer and practical works.  Our programs and strategies are all birthed and sustained by prayer and intercession, and we are experiencing great favour from Heaven in these ministries.

Alabaster Church in 2025 is a transformational force both locally and in Missions.

  • We are committed to the long-term transformation of our community and the generations through the establishing of the primary school. We are seeing the Primary School Project move forward in 2025 for a start in the very near future.

  • We are continuing to engage with local churches and ministries in Southeast Asia – the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, and even Papua New Guinea. We continue to develop new and foster existing long-term relationships with the leaders of these organisations to partner with them for transformation in their communities. As partners, we are sending teams on short-term trips and commissioning leaders on long-term assignments with our partner churches and leaders. We are seeing growing fruit in these partnerships and we are spurred on by the steady stream of testimonies we are hearing from them.

Alabaster Church in 2025 is committed to church-planting.

  • We are convinced that church-planting is the most effective form of disciple-making and taking territory for the Kingdom of God. We are committed to seeing Kinglake and AMM grow from strength to strength.

  • We are committed to establishing a new location (church-plant) in the Hills.
