Jesus - Communicated, Celebrated, Demonstrated

"Jesus - communicated, celebrated, demonstrated" is the catchcry summary of our mission statement.

At Penshurst Anglican Church, by the power of God's Spirit, we will endeavour to:
* Communicate Christ's gospel to the unchurched
* Incorporate new believers into Christ's body
* Educate all members towards maturity as Christ's disciples
* Demonstrate Christ's love to each other and the world
* Celebrate together the joy and hope of Christ's salvation

Cell Based Church

Our church calls itself a ‘cell church’, built upon the Biblical idea that the primary way that God’s people can truly live out the Gospel is through small, intentional communities (called ‘cells’). It is here where Jesus is given a far more intimate opportunity to do His work of transformation.
The analogy is with biological cells which are part of a larger body - yet self contained - and able to grow and multiply in number.
Cells are small groups of people who meet on a regular basis. The focus of the meeting is to encourage growth in each Member's relationship with the Lord Jesus.

The meeting is loosely based on 4 main components:
* Learning more about each other
* Sharing from God's Word (the Bible)
* Worshipping God
* Praying

The emphasis at PAC is on being a member of a Cell. We believe that the depth of relationships which develop in these groups is instrumental in keeping each Member firm in their faith in Jesus. The reason is as Jesus put it - that his church is to be a Body of believers - many parts, all working in unity to the edification of each other and the glory of God who breathes life into it.
