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 – God is a Good Father

2 – Prayer is our Foundation

3 – His Presence is Everything

4 – Life is in the Word

5 – Naturally Supernatural through Jesus

6 – Honour Affirms Value

7 – Starts and Ends with Love

8 – Power behind Godly Character

9 – Authenticity & Family

10 – Generosity is a Seed of Heaven

11 – Lead with Covering & Humility

12 – His Kingdom is Multiplication

13 – The Gospel is Glorious


“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!
