Our Story
In 1975, God spoke to our founding Pastors, Adrian and Kathy Gray, to plant a Church in the heart of Macarthur. Together with their family and a handful of committed members, they faithfully pioneered the Church for 34 years. During this time, Mount Annan’s current building was constructed, Mount Annan Christian College began, C3 Community Services launched and many lives were eternally transformed.
In 2008, Adrian and Kathy handed the leadership of our Church to Pastors Andrew and Clare Gray. For 13 years, they passionately impacted God’s Kingdom, saw many disciples made, planted several local churches, equipped leaders and led cultural change, including the renaming of our Church to ‘C3 New Hope’.
In December of 2021, Andrew and Clare passed the baton of leadership to Pastors Dan and Ali Warren. They both are excited for this chapter in the life of our Church. We always honour our past and are loyal to the future. All for His glory.

What we believe
We live by our convictions, the core values that make us who we are.
The Bible is our guide to life, not only because it is good, but because it is true.
There is one God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God; we believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His victorious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, His constant intercession and in His imminent return.
In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruits and gifts available in the Church.
The Bible is the living word of God. It is infallible, authoritative and everlasting and is the foundation of all Christian doctrine.
In the existence of an evil spiritual being known as the devil.
In the spiritually lost condition of all people and the essential need for the new birth by faith in Jesus Christ.
In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to believers subsequent to the new birth, with normal evidence of speaking in other tongues.
In the sacraments of the Lords Supper and baptism by full immersion in water for all believers.
In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting separation from God.
In the church being the body of Christ, and each member being an active part of a local Church, fulfilling the Great Commission.
Marriage was instituted by God, ratified by Jesus, and is exclusively between a man and a woman. It is a picture of Christ and his Church.
Sex is a gift from God for procreation and unity, and it is only appropriate within and designed for marriage.
