Our journey with Christ
Discover the heart behind Embrace Ministries. Learn about our beginnings, our guiding principles, and our vision for strengthening faith and community.
Our beginning and purpose
Embrace is simply about Jesus Christ. Embrace seeks to encourage and equip Christians to encounter the Lord genuinely and powerfully - to truly embrace Him - so that the Church is strengthened and that reality replaces religion.
As we experience the embrace of God in the beautiful grace of Jesus Christ, we are changed and our lives become vessels of embrace towards others. Kingdom fruit becomes seeds in lives that multiply and bear more fruit! Embrace is not about notoriety or building something for ourselves. May Jesus Christ be glorified as He ministers through the Holy Spirit in lives.
Our core values
The Bible is the word of God, revealing God's heart towards us, His creation, through thousands of years of history - His Story. The Holy Spirit ministers through the Word, through revelation in the inner, spirit man and through dreams and visions. God longs to embrace us and as we allow Him to do so, we find His love realised in our lives. We can embrace others in His love as He touches our hearts and as His life flows through our lives.
Who we connect with
Jesus' invitation to intimacy goes out to all who have met Him and to all that He calls to Himself. Holy Spirit touches the lives of the young and old, teens and parents and grandparents. He is looking for worshippers in spirit and in truth - a vibrant, contagious Body of Christ.
Our future dream
Our main purpose and dream for Embrace Ministries in the future is focused on encouragement, equipping, teaching, and networking. We aspire to make a profound, positive impact by fostering a community where individuals can grow in their faith, be empowered for service, and connect with fellow believers. Through these efforts, we aim to spread the love and truth of Jesus Christ, leading to transformation in individual lives and the wider community. God desires a prophetic people who hear from Him and speak into the lives of others.
"Embrace Ministries starts nothing new - we want to partner with what God is doing - and only that."
