To ‘reach’ means to succeed in having an effect on, to thrust out or extend in order to connect and communicate with.
To ‘influence’ means having the power to affect the nature, development, or condition of; to modify a person’s course or ultimate destiny.
Our vision is to build a multi-cultural local church that is contemporary and relevant with a Pentecostal emphasis that reaches our city with the gospel and has influence in every sphere of life in our community. Our church is in one of WA’s biggest and most established city shires with just under 100,000 people that call the City of Melville their home.
We believe that SouthCity Church is the kind of local church that God uses to be His representatives on this earth. We believe that we are called to be His ambassadors (2 Cor 5:20) to our community with a vibrant and powerful message of hope in Jesus Christ.
Southcity has a strong emphasis on engaging and adding value to the local community through various effective and well-resourced programmes and projects. We have a high investment in children and youth programmes and a strong mid-week ‘small group’ culture. Our small groups are known as Connect Groups and cater to every affinity and age group from teenagers to the elderly.
Our vision also includes having church services that have inspirational, practical and relevant messages, powerful altar-ministry, contemporary and vibrant music, great hospitality and a warm and friendly atmosphere. We have a strong emphasis on bible-based, Christ-centred preaching, uplifting praise and passionate worship. We will always endeavour to make sure that our décor is modern and excellent, our pastoral care sincere and caring, and our leadership visionary but also warm and friendly.
