A Place For Families
We want to provide a space where families can experience Jesus together. He is the lead story in every room of our house, shaping what we prioritise and how we live.
We intentionally lean in with the families of Glow, walking alongside parents and carers as they raise the next generation to know Jesus and grow in a real, life-giving relationship with Him.

He leads and develops the worship team with excellence, passion, and a deep commitment to creating an atmosphere where faith is stirred and Jesus is central.

Giving
Giving sits at the heart of who we are because it reflects who Jesus is. He is a giver, not a taker, giving us life and breath, and through His death and resurrection, defeating the sin that would rob us of both.
At Glow, giving is worship. It is a joyful response to the extravagant grace and glory of God, not a transaction but an act of trust. Through our generosity, we honour Jesus, invest in people, and advance the gospel both locally and globally.
