Believers in Jesus Christ's GOODNESS
Focus Bible Church (FBC) launched on June 28th 2009 in the Welcome Bay School Hall, Tauranga, New Zealand. We are a multi-cultural gathering of believers in Jesus Christ as a non-denominational local church. Believers weekly participate in God-centered worship and expressions of faith with consecutive expository Bible teaching being the normal preaching format.
We enjoy our Christian heritage and the foundation on which we stand (Mat 16:18; 1Co 3:11; Eph 2:20). Focus Bible Church does not identify merely as churched people, church attenders, or social Christians. We are not trying to influence society by getting unchurched people into church attendance. No, we want to be people who really do grow to know God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and obedience to His Word (Mat 28:19-20; Heb 1:2-3; 1Pe 2:2; 2Pe 3:18).
By God’s grace:
* We exist to express the praise of God’s glory and for His pleasure (Eph 1:3-14).
* We join with Jesus in making disciples/followers of the Lord Jesus Christ (Mat 28:19-20).
* We provide time, space, and support to heal from the pains of life.
* We encourage relationships without demands to conform to any particular religious, organisational, or personal expectations.
* We desire selfless love to enhance unity and loyalty by applying biblical principles.
* Questions are welcomed and answers are provided.
* We are a family of diverse Christians, content to be who God has made us in Christ.
* We are gospel focused people who intentionally share Jesus Christ with others (Rom 10:13-15).
* We understand that this takes time, selfless love, and patience under the influence of God’s Word and His Spirit (2Co 3:17-18).
