Welcome to our website
We are a church with a truly international flavour, every Sunday morning you will find folk from over twenty nations praising and worshipping Jesus together in our very distinctive building.
This site will give you a taste of who we are and what we are about.
We are very excited about all that God is doing in our lives and we want to share that with you.
God has brought together a congregation with a wide variety of gifting and experience from all walks of life. Many who come are finding help and healing for their lives, and from the hurts of the past. Others are being released to use their unique talent and ability for the benefits of others.
Along with other churches in the area our heart is for God's Kingdom to be fully manifest through the body of Christ in Ipswich.
For those who are able to pay us a visit, a warm and genuine welcome awaits.
ENJOY OUR SITE!

Do you believe in Angels? I had a friend who was driving along a motorway one day when he saw in the sky in front of him an angel with a drawn sword. Taking it to be a warning he pulled off the motorway at the next intersection. Still in shock he stopped at the first garage he came to in order to compose himself; Getting out of the car he is approached by the garage manager who comments, “You look very pale are you okay?” To which my friend replied, “You would not believe me if I told you.” “Try me”, said the man. So my friend told him about the angel; “You are the fourth person who has pulled into my garage and told me that story in the last thirty minutes” was the amazing response.
The interest in Angels has certainly increased in recent years. ‘Touched by an Angel’ has become a very popular TV programme and quite a number of Hollywood films have been made exploring the idea. Do we all have a Guardian Angel?
What if you bumped into a stranger one day who claimed to be an angel? What would you think?
Most of us I am sure would be cynical. This stranger, without proof, is either lying, or a lunatic. We would need some pretty convincing evidence to believe we were face to face with an angelic being.
When Jesus Christ claimed to be God it must have brought the same kind of reaction in His day. People were faced with the same choice. Was He lying, out of His mind, or were His claims true. Looking at the tremendous things He taught above loving our enemies, doing good to those who hate us, even praying for those who curse us it’s hard to believe He was a liar. Remembering the wonderful stories He told, how He loved the little children, the miracles he performed and even the way He died makes it hard to believe He was a lunatic. The evidence is clearly in favour of Jesus being who He said He was.

exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command.”
