Axis Church is a Wesleyan Methodist Church in North Lakes, QLD.
All are welcome in our Church family where Christ is at the centre, the axis upon which our whole lives revolve.
At Axis we want to encourage people to be authentic with God and one another and to pursue integrity — morally, financially, relationally. We want the genuine quality and integrity of our lives to honor Christ and make a difference in the world.
On this website you will find information about who we are and what you can expect when you come to Axis Church. In addition, you can watch our sermons online. I encourage you to join us for a weekend service.
We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better!
Jonathon has been in pastoral ministry since 2011, having
completed a Bachelor of Theology with Sydney College of Divinity. He previously
served for eight years as the Senior Pastor of New Life Baptist Church in
Echuca-Moama, before coming to North Lakes at the beginning of 2020 to take up
a call to Axis.
Jonathon
holds the Scriptures as the supreme authority for life and practice. He has a
practical style of preaching that enables people to apply Biblical truths to
their everyday lives, with a ministry calling that is strongly
discipleship-driven. Jonathon has a passion to see people understand the good
news of Jesus, experience transformation by grace and then be activated to
pursue their God-calling.
Jonathon
is married to Yvonne, who hails from California, USA. They met working together
on a mission outreach team, during the time that Yvonne was serving with
Operation Mobilisation. Jonathon enjoys the full support of Yvonne in his
ministry calling, and is also blessed with three beautiful daughters, Hannah,
Abigail, and Anabelle. They are unified together in seeing God’s work progress.
Wesleyans believe in one God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Savior of all persons who put their faith in Him alone for eternal life. We believe God wants people everywhere to know Him and that the purpose of the church is to tell the world about Christ through its worship, witness, and loving deeds.
The Bible is God’s holy Word. It uniquely and infallibly reveals God’s plan for His people and how to live out that plan, individually and corporately. Beliefs, practices, priorities, and our mission are to be anchored in clear biblical teachings.
Jesus Christ is the defining feature of God’s will and relationship with all humankind. In Christ is found both newness of life and the highest and clearest example for godliness. People made new in Christ find Him to be the source of faith, hope, and love in both the inner life and in our outward actions engaging a world desperate for hope and life.
Making disciples is a clear mandate from Christ. This requires a strong missional focus on evangelism and training in spiritual growth and holy living. Done effectively, this will produce and promote growth and health in and among the churches.
The denomination exists to help local congregations grow and multiply, be more healthy, and more authentically reflect God’s plan. Local churches are the most fundamental and strategic points of evangelism and discipleship. The challenge of the denomination is to keep finding the best ways to serve, strengthen, and multiply congregations.
Wesleyans respect leadership that is placed over them, while realising that the authority and effectiveness of spiritual leadership is not primarily bestowed, but earned, and is characterised by a loving and willing heart of obedience that serves God and mankind gladly. Wesleyans desire to be leaders in serving.
There is intrinsic value in every person. Biblical unity becomes all the more important and beautiful in the light of the wide-ranging differences in personalities, cultures, races, languages, talents, and perspectives. Finding unity and mutual love in Christ eliminates devaluation and deprivation of life to one another.
