About us.

Cristológica was born from the desire to glorify Jesus Christ in every part of life.

We are a community centred on Christ, grounded in the Scriptures and committed to forming disciples who don’t just know the faith, but live it every day.

We are a community being made complete: we learn, we grow, we change course, we mature and we move forward together.

We believe the Church is much more than a place where we meet. It is

  • a spiritual family,
  • a community of faith,
  • a place of training and care,
  • and a community sent out to serve and influence the world.

What we believe.

Our faith is grounded in the Holy Scriptures, our reference for faith, practice and Christian life.

  • God

    In one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus Christ

    In Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, Lord and Saviour, through whom God revealed His grace and accomplished redemption.

  • Grace

    That salvation is the work of God’s grace, received by faith in Jesus Christ, and that those reached by the Gospel are called to a new life.

  • The Holy Spirit

    In the work and presence of the Holy Spirit, who leads, empowers, transforms and equips the Church for its mission.

  • The Church

    That the Church is the Body of Christ, a community called to live in fellowship, to serve, to disciple and to proclaim the Gospel.

  • The mission

    That the Great Commission is not just something the Church does: it is an essential part of who it is.

How we live it.

Everything we do is shaped by four dimensions. They are not four churches or four departments: they are how we care for people, grow ministries, lead and fulfil the mission.

Pastoral.

We care for people, families, relationships and leaders. We are present, we walk alongside, listen, counsel, disciple and restore. For us, people come before structures.

Pastoral is presence, care, relationship and restoration.

Apostolic.

We are called to go out, plant, build, develop, multiply and send: in training leaders, in missions, in evangelism and in opening new fronts.

Apostolic is going beyond the borders.

Prophetic.

We seek to hear God, understand the times, read reality in the light of Scripture and respond with wisdom. We don’t just want to copy models.

Prophetic is discerning in order to act rightly.

Simplicity.

It is not a lack of excellence, depth or organisation. It is removing needless complication and putting our energy into what truly matters.

Doing it simply is not doing less. It is doing better what matters.

We care pastorally. We expand apostolically. We discern prophetically. We carry it out with simplicity and excellence.

Our culture

We are a house of children being made complete.

We don’t claim to have arrived at perfection. We are people in process. We learn, we grow, we are corrected and restored, we develop our gifts, we serve, and we help one another grow up.

  • Christ at the centre
  • The Word as foundation
  • People before structures
  • Fellowship
  • Care
  • Discipleship
  • Service

A church that cares and sends.

Come and meet us.
