about re-church
What is re-church?
This is the church Jesus builds: organic, relational, Spirit-led, and open-handed. No walls divide, no titles elevate, and no program substituting for presence. We gather to grow; we scatter to shine. We listen to the whisper of the Spirit, not the hum of programs or schedules. Our purpose reflects that of the New Testament church, we gather around sound biblical teaching to build each other up to make disciple making disciples.
Why the name “re-church”?
The prefix “re” means “again,” “back,” or “anew.” It speaks of returning, of rediscovering what once was. re-church is about coming back to the original blueprint of the New Testament gatherings of believers: simple, Spirit-led, relational, and centered on Jesus. re-church isn’t about starting something new, it’s about going back to where it all began, and living it again with fresh conviction.
about re-church
1. In the Triune God: We worship one God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, eternally existent, sovereign, and the source of all life, truth, and love. God reveals Himself through His Word, creation, and Spirit, inviting us into a living, transformative relationship.
2. In Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior: Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, who died for our sins, rose again, and reigns as the head of the church. He is the rock upon which we are built, renewing our faith and purpose through His redemptive work.
3. In the Holy Spirit’s Empowering Presence: The Holy Spirit indwells every believer, equipping us with spiritual gifts to edify one another and advance God’s kingdom. We are reignited by the Spirit to live boldly as witnesses of Christ, empowered for mission and ministry.
4. In the Authority of Scripture: The Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God, guiding our faith and practice. It calls us to live as the early church did devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer in organic, Spirit-led gatherings (Acts 2:42).
5. In the Organic Nature of the Church: The church is not a building, institution, or hierarchy but a living ekklesia, a community of believers called to embody Christ’s love. We are re-stored to the New Testament model, free from paid staff, fixed structures, or clergy-laity divisions.
6. In Mutual Edification: Our gatherings are participatory and Spirit-led, where believers contribute through sharing, prayer, worship, or exercising spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 14:26). We foster authentic relationships, sharing meals and breaking bread together, creating a family-like community that reflects Christ’s love.
7. In Discipleship and Mission: The church exists to make disciples who make disciples, equipping every believer to grow in faith, activate their calling, and live as salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16). Rather than attracting the world to a building, we send disciples into communities, workplaces, and neighbourhoods to bring transformation through love, justice, and the gospel.
8. In Servanthood Leadership: Leadership in re-church emerges organically through character, maturity, and service, not titles or hierarchies. Leaders are servants who equip and empower others, following Jesus’ example of humility.
9. In the Unity of the Body: We believe in the priesthood of all believers, where every member is valued, empowered, and called to minister. There is no separation between clergy and laity, as all are unified by the Spirit to edify one another.
10. In the Victory of Christ’s Church: The gates of hell will not prevail against the church Jesus is building. We are reignited to advance His kingdom with boldness, trusting in His presence and power (Matthew 28:20).
In the beginning there was light, love and life,
God the Father loved His Son Jesus, who was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
Everything was made from this light, love and life,
and we were created to share in it all.
But, when you look around this world, it's different,
we see darkness, disconnection and death.
Why? Because we turned from God and sin entered this world.
Turn from light and you get darkness,
Turn from love and you get disconnection,
Turn from life and you get death.
But love spoke when it saw us in trouble?
Love said your pain is my pain,
Your sin is my burden to bear.
So the Father sent His Son Jesus. Love came down,
He stepped into our darkness,
He became our redeemer and restorer,
He took our sin and death to the cross and buried them forever.
Then He rose, full of light, love and life,
and He offered us His victory:
You in darkness, here is my light,
You in disconnection, here is my love,
You in death, here is eternal life.
Repent from a sinful life and say yes to Jesus and you will get:
His life that will dwell in you,
His Father who will be your Father,
His Spirit will empower you to live holy and bold,
His future - eternal life - is yours forever.
His gift of salvation is not a destination but a life transformation.
Say yes to Jesus and be re-stored, re-newed and re-ignited, to shine His light, love and life to those in your world.
The church was never meant to be a monument of stone but a gathering of people. It began not in cathedrals or chapels but in upper rooms, courtyards, and homes wherever ordinary people gathered around an extraordinary Christ. An organic church isn’t defined by its structure, denomination, or building, it’s defined by its life. The word organic speaks of something living, growing, and shaped from within rather than controlled from the outside. That’s exactly what the early gatherings of believers were a living expression of Christ’s body, guided by His Spirit, not managed by systems or traditions.
At re-church, we gather in a space stripped of attractions, free of pretence. It’s a space that remind us that God doesn’t dwell in temples made by human hands; He dwells in people renewed by His Spirit. The simplicity of the space frees us to focus on what matters: presence, fellowship, and shared purpose. Each person is a vital part of the body, carrying a spark of the Spirit to build up the others. Leadership isn’t a platform but a function, a rhythm of serving, equipping, and releasing.
Worship rises naturally, unchoreographed, free from distraction as hearts align with heaven. Teaching flows as dialogue, not monologue. Prayer is conversation, not performance. The simple space that we gather in is symbolic of our intent: to reclaim the ordinary as sacred. Faith happens in the same air where work and where community and life happen, reminding us that all ground can be holy ground when Christ is present. The space we meet in isn’t sacred - the people are. That’s the beauty of the organic church. It’s not something we attend; it’s something we are.
Our gatherings take place in a warehouse type space that's open, unpolished, and full of life. It’s the kind of space that feels honest. Exposed brick, beams, and soft tungsten lighting create a warm, grounded atmosphere - not polished perfection, but genuine simplicity.
There’s room for conversation, worship, and community with no pulpit, pews, no stage, no separation. Just people gathered together around the Word, around a meal, around each other.
The warehouse space reminds us that the church was never meant to be ornate or distant. It’s a space that strips away the unnecessary and brings focus back to what matters most: Jesus at the centre and His people gathered as one.
It’s not about aesthetics, it’s about authenticity. A warehouse isn’t sacred because of what it looks like; it’s sacred because of who gathers within it. You.

In Matthew 16:18 (ESV), Jesus declares, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” The word He used for “church” was ekklesia meaning “an assembly of called-out people.” It was never meant to describe an institution or an organisation, but a living community of believers, gathered around His presence and sent out with His purpose.
That purpose is found in Matthew 28:19 (ESV), the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This is the heartbeat of the ekklesia that Jesus builds. We’re not called to create movements, build monuments, or establish platform ministries. We’re called to make disciples, people who know Jesus, follow Him, and help others do the same. At re-church, we believe the measure of our faithfulness isn’t found in attendance, buildings, or budgets, it’s found in whether we’re making disciples who make disciples. The Great Commission was Jesus’ final instruction, His last words carry eternal weight, and they define what we’ll ultimately give account for.
Our mission is simple yet profound: To multiply disciples who live out the life of Christ in their homes, workplaces, and communities just as the first believers did.
The church Jesus builds isn’t confined by walls; it’s a living movement of people walking in obedience to His call, empowered by His Spirit, and grounded in His Word.
This is the church He promised to build and that’s the church we’re becoming.
When Jesus shared bread and wine with His disciples on the night before His crucifixion (Matthew 26:26–29, ESV), He was doing far more than instituting a ritual, He was ushering in a new covenant. His words, “this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins,” directly echo Jeremiah 31:31–34, where God promised a new covenant written not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.
That moment, set in the context of the Passover meal, marked the turning point of history. Jesus was redefining covenant relationship no longer through sacrifice and law, but through grace and fellowship with Him. At re-church, we recognise that the Lord’s Supper was a meal, a shared table where believers came together to eat, remember, and celebrate what Jesus accomplished. The early church understood this as a full expression of community, not a ceremony, but communion. The Greek word koinōnia, often translated as communion or fellowship, literally means sharing in common. It describes participation, relationship, and unity not quiet ritual.
Over time, the institutionalised church reduced this vibrant expression of fellowship into what could best be described as a sacramental snack, a small symbolic gesture disconnected from the shared meal that once defined it. Yet in the New Testament gatherings, the table was the centre of community life. Believers broke bread together, shared stories, prayed, and remembered Christ’s sacrifice as part of genuine fellowship.
When we share the Lord’s Supper, we don’t look forward in formality, we look back in gratitude and around in unity. Each Sunday we come together over a meal as one body, one family, one fellowship remembering Jesus’ words, His sacrifice, and the covenant that binds us together in Him. At re-church we believe that this is what communion was meant to be: a meal of remembrance, fellowship, and grace. A meal that equips us to go out into our communities to be the salt and light that we're called to be.
Scripture reinforces that the Old Testament’s tithing laws were agricultural, designed to support the Levites and the poor within Israel’s covenant, not a universal mandate for monetary giving. Pagan cultures also practiced tithing, suggesting it was a cultural norm adapted by Israel, not a divine imperative for all time.
The New Testament never commands monetary tithing, the new covenant that Jesus ushered in instead showcased the early church’s radical, voluntary generosity of sharing resources to ensure no one was in need, regardless of whether they were Jew or Gentile (Acts 2:44–45, 2 Cor. 9:6–7). This model of giving, rooted in love and community, stands in stark contrast to the temple’s exploitative practices, which pressured the poor to sustain an institution.
For the organic church, mandating monetary tithes to fund institutional structures such as buildings, salaries, or programs, mirrors the temple systems that Jesus critiqued. Such practices risk prioritising organisational maintenance over the biblical call to care for the vulnerable (James 1:27). Instead, the organic church embraces a model of giving that is free, relational, and need-driven, reflecting God’s heart for justice and mercy. Luke 20:45–21:6 calls believers to reject exploitative religious systems and embrace a faith that prioritises authentic generosity.
The organic church seeks to embody this by fostering communities where resources flow to those in need, not to sustain hierarchies or edifices. Jesus’ words invite us to reimagine giving as an act of love, not obligation, ensuring that the church fulfils its role as a refuge for the marginalised, not a replica of the temple systems He condemned. This vision aligns with the New Testament’s radical generosity, offering a prophetic challenge to build communities that reflect God’s kingdom values of justice, compassion, and care for all.
Picture the city of Launceston and the state of Tasmania where believers gave generously and radically to the communities around them, that sought out the needy, that provided much needed items for struggling single mothers, that covered the basic needs for those living on the streets, that helped the elderly with that power bill that then allowed them to keep warm, or re-stocked food banks over and over again.
re-church encourage believers to connect and give to those in need and to give generously as God leads you to. re-church can also provide details of charities that need support - charities that will see the body of Christ bringing light, love and life to those around us.
re-church isn’t part of any denomination, and that’s intentional. When we look back at the gatherings of believers described in the New Testament, there were no denominations, movements, or institutional frameworks. There were simply followers of Jesus meeting anywhere, sharing meals, praying, learning from the apostles’ teaching, and caring for one another as family.
The early believers modelled something profoundly simple and powerful, captured in Acts 2:42–47 (ESV)“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” That’s the heartbeat of re-church. We’re not building a brand or joining a network, we’re returning to that original blueprint of authentic community, Christ at the centre, and believers living out their faith organically.
Over time, as Christianity became institutionalised, human traditions began to shape how church was structured. The result? Today there are over 45,000 denominations worldwide each with its own name, governance, and expression. While many began with sincere motives, this fragmentation has led us away from the simple unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17, where He asked that His followers “may be one, just as You and I are one.” re-church exists to step back toward that unity, to return to a way of gathering where relationship comes before ritual, discipleship before denomination, and Jesus remains the head of His church, just as He always intended.
Worship isn’t bound by walls - it lives in every heart that seeks truth, love, and renewal.
