Brookside is a church. but when most people think of church they think; boring, judgmental and irrelevent and brookside tries very hard to be the antithesis of those things. In fact brookside is building a legacy of exciting, accepting and cutting edge.
At brookside our source of inspiration is Jesus. Jesus is our answer for everything; our model for life and community, our answer for sin and pain and our hope for the future and the 'now'.
We don't believe that our goal in life is to hide away from the world awaiting transportation to a mystical heaven space after we die but rather, we believe through Jesus we are called to bring heaven to earth , transforming people's lives and communities. In short we want to see people the best they can be and muswellbrook the best muswellbrook it can be.
Our vision statement is "insist with pitbull determination that the gospel be preached, the lost be found, the believers be equipped, the poor be served, the lonely enfolded into community and that God gets the credit for it all."
