An opportunity has opened up in the Huon Valley for the establishment of a new church. Redeemer Christian Church is planning to start public meetings in Huonville on 1st November 2009 at 9:30am, at the newly constructed Police and Citizens Youth Centre, at the end of Heron Street, Huonville.
This is a church plant of the Christian Reformed Churches of Kingborough, and seeks by God’s grace to bring the love of Christ in the gospel to people in Huonville. Mick Elliott, a former missionary to Bolivia and SIM (Serving in Missions) representative in Tasmania, has been appointed as the pastor of the church, and is working with a strong and vibrant core group of about 30 people.
The Huonville church will be a gospel-focussed church with a Reformational understanding of the gospel, encapsulated in the catch-cries, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. The ministry of the Word and prayer will be the heart of this new church’s work. The key goal of the church is not to take people from existing churches, but to reach out into the Huonville community and beyond, to win them for Christ and so be engaged in building His kingdom.
Redeemer Christian church will part of the Vision 100 Resources network of churches, sharing it’s values, and receiving some initial financial support. By God’s grace it will grow to be a strong church in central Huonville, that will plant and support a number of churches in the surrounding district.
