Our team.
Stuart Milne
Rector & Senior Pastor
"It's wonderful being the senior minister at Christ Church Northern Beaches, and my aim is to encourage everyone in their faith at church to do something for the cause of Christ.
I am married to Mary and have three adult children living in the outer edges of Sydney, and a dog called "Benji"(a Moodle) who thinks he is a human. I love most sports and follow the West Tigers in the NRL.
I get to run 3 days a week and enjoy the beach with family and friends. I love talking with all sorts of people and I look forward to meeting you too."
What we believe.
About God.
The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
About the Bible.
The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
About humankind.
The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
About Jesus.
The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ – born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
About salvation.
The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
About the Holy Spirit.
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
About the Church.
The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers – given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
About the return of Jesus.
The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
