The Story


“Lost people Saved. Saved people Pastored.
Pastored people Trained. Trained people Mobilised.”


– OUR MISSION –

In 1990, with a heart to see the nations won for Jesus, Leo started a church in his mothers lounge room. Over 30 years on, GGC Life (Glorious Gospel Church) continues to run with that mission; to see Lost people Saved, Saved people Pastored, Pastored people Trained, and Trained people Mobilised. Our Mission is the Great Commission.


“The best is yet to come..”


“To know Jesus
and make Him Known.”


– OUR VISION –

We believe that Jesus’ game plan for this world was and is the church. A light in a dark place, a city on a hill. A church to bring hope, life, and inspiration, in a world that so desperately needs it. And what brings Hope, and Life, and Inspiration? The Gospel. The Good News. That Jesus died for you, to take on your burdens and sin and hopelessness. So that you could live victorious and free from the penalties of sin. And that Jesus also rose from the dead, conquering death on your behalf! And so, our hearts desire is this, to know Jesus and make Him known.


“Our values determine the culture
we build around us..”

1 – Authenticity

We believe in intentional authenticity. In a world where so much is filtered, we believe in being real, raw, and celebrators of the truth. Real people, with real stories, walking a real journey, with a real God.

2 – Supernatural Lifestyle

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we are filled with power to live lives beyond ourselves. Wherever Jesus went, the kingdom of Heaven was revealed on earth supernaturally. We believe God has empowered us to do likewise.

3 – Evangelism

There is power in the gospel to transform lives. Evangelism should be natural for believer’s; that by the fruit of our lives we would testify of what life with God looks like, and by the testimony of our mouth we should declare God’s goodness.

4 – Growth

Scripture says that it is the Father’s heart for us to grow up into the fullness of Christ. Growth is a heavenly culture, and we are a church that desires to mature in all areas of life; our spiritual walk, our faithfulness, our ability to hear God’s voice etc.

5 – Honour

At GGC we believe in recognising the value in each and every person. We honour gifts, and when we do so we receive their rewards. We choose to highlight the treasure in people, and celebrate what God is doing in them.

6 – Leadership

We believe in creating a culture where we develop leaders, not just followers; Disciple-makers, not just disciples. We believe in the “priest-hood of all believers”, that it is God’s desire to have an active and faithful church, not a passive church.

7 – Excellence

In everything we do, we do it unto the Lord; from setting up the chairs, to shepherding people. With this in mind we serve with a high standard of excellence, choose to give effort to what we do, and go the extra mile. Jesus taught if someone asked of you one mile, go two.

8 – Generosity

Jesus was a generous King, to the point He gave His whole life up for us. We believe it is in God nature to never do anything sparingly- but that He is a God who lavishly pours Himself out. As His body, we believe the church should naturally be a generous people in every way.

9 – Family

We believe in family before function. As a church we believe that we are all brothers and sisters. A Kingdom Family doesn’t give up on each other- we hold each other, care for each other, believe in each other, and celebrate one another. No matter how big we get, we believe church should operate as family.

10 – Love

No matter what cultures we carry, or what processes we implement- no matter how successful we deem ourselves, or how great we think we perform- the bible clearly states “if we don’t have love, we have nothing”. We do everything out of a motivation of our Love for God, and those that God loves.


“What we believe about God determines
what we will receive of Him..”

WHO IS NCMI?


New Covenant Ministries International

GGC is a non-denominational church, but we have never done ministry alone. We believe in accountability, transparency and partnering with what God is doing globally. We would not be the church we are today without decades of primarily partnering with the NCMI Team. 

New Covenant Ministries International (NCMI) is a trans-local ministry team (of Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Evangelists & Teachers; as described in Ephesians 4), with an apostolic heart. This NCMI Team is comprised of men and women who, through partnership, help pastors/elders equip local churches in doing the work Jesus set out of us. Their work is to equip and mobilise believers for the fulfilment of the work of the Kingdom, and the discipling of the nations, finding unity in the faith, and full maturity in Christ Jesus. Their mission, just as is ours, is to know Jesus and to make Jesus known!
