Dit is wie ons is en wat ons glo

wie ons is

Deo Kerk is oorspronklik ‘n Afrikaans sprekende Gemeente, wat in 1976 in Newcastle gevestig is. In 2015 het ons ook na die Engels sprekende mense van Newcastle begin uitreik, en ons eerste Engelse diens in Februarie 2015 begin. Ons is baie opgewonde om ook Engels sprekende mense deel te maak van ons wonderlike familie van gelowiges.
By Deo Kerk is ons ‘n Familie van Bybelse gelowiges. Ons is lief vir God, lief vir ons naaste en ons het ook sondaars lief. Deur vir mekaar lief te wees, druk ons ook ons liefde vir God uit. Ons wil almal wat na Deo Kerk toe kom, help om te groei in hul verhouding met Jesus Christus. Ons wil sien dat mense gered word; genees word; bevry word; dissipels van Jesus word; en bemagtig word sodat almal uiteindelik Jesus Christus en sy Koninkryk kan dien. Dit begin deur die belewenis wat mense kry by ons naweek byeenkomste, in Afrikaans en Engels.

Kerk is meer as om net ‘n Sondag byeenkoms by te woon. Dit is interaksie met mense, groei in jou geloof en ook bou aan sterk verhoudinge in jou familie. By die Deo Kerk Familie, is dit maklik vir mense om in die groep weg te raak en daarom is ons ‘n Gemeente met kleingroepe. Ons noem dit DeoCircles. Ons het baie DeoCircles wat weekliks in Newcastle en Utrecht bymekaar kom, en ons DeoCircle Fasiliteerders is ywerig om jou te ontmoet en beter te leer ken.

Ons droom is dat elke persoon wat in Newcastle en die omgewing woon in Jesus Christus sal glo; aan ‘n familie sal behoort; ‘n Dissipel van Jesus Christus sal word; en ‘n bouer van die Koninkryk van God sal wees. Ons wil Christus gelykvormige gemeenskappe Demonstreer, Dupliseer en Ontwikkel regoor die wêreld.

doelstelling

Deo Kerk is ‘n Gees gedrewe Familie wat Newcastle en die wêreld verander met die liefde van Jesus.
