Our Purposes

Our purpose is to help people become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ in a caring community.  We are committed to growing meaningful relationships and to helping people to be continually growing in their devotion to Jesus Christ.  Hence we place a strong emphasis on discipleship and also provide healing ministries to enable everyone to reach their God-given potential.

National Purpose

Kingborough Family Church is also a part of a national movement belonging to a worldwide organisation, called the Apostolic Church.  Two fundamental principles underlie the national government structure: adequate covering and mutual support.  The   Apostolic Church began in 1916 from ministry which had flowed on from the Welsh revival in 1904 - 5 and now has churches in over 40 countries.  It began in Australia in 1930.  The Apostolic Church has attempted to follow what it sees to be the Biblical pattern of church government as recorded in the book of Acts.  Accordingly, the church is governed by a Council of senior ministers, who are responsible for the continued well-being and growth of the people and churches in the denomination.  This has meant that the church has been able to do things as a united national body, such as sending out missionaries to such diverse places as Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Malaysia, Thailand and China, and to the Australian Aborigines, and at the same time encourage each local congregation to become fully involved in its own local community.
