Our Cairns Pastors
Luke and Nikki have been the pastors at Elevation Church Cairns for over 4 years. They have two children: Giorgia and Leonardo and together love calling Cairns home.
For Luke and Nikki, the church is so much more than Sunday gatherings. Their goal is pretty simple: build a church community that people can belong to, grow with and flourish in as we pursue Jesus together. They believe that He has all the peace, hope and life that any of us could ever need. Luke and Nikki’s sincere hope is that whenever you may join us, you would find this to be true too.
Our Vision, Mission & Values
Our Vision
Multiplying Healthy Local Churches To Transform Our Cities
This is our big picture…
We believe thriving local churches are what every community needs and the most effective way of reaching our communities with Jesus is through the multiplication of healthy churches.
Our effectiveness is not measured by seating capacity, but SENDING capacity.
Multiplication means there’s room for everyone. When we grow together we expand our reach and ability to influence.
Our Mission
Creating environments that inspire intimacy with Christ, relationship with others and influence in our world.
Life works best when we are in relationship with God, in community with other believers, and in our worlds making a difference.
At Elevation we strive to create environments so you can thrive in this.
Our Values
We are Authentic! Being real with ourselves, others and Christ because we value genuine relationship.
We are Adventurous! Bold and brave. We don’t play it safe, seeking adventure to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
We are Fun! Work hard, play hard. We don’t take ourselves too seriously.
We are Spirit Led! With Christ at the centre, we make room for the Holy Spirit to move in our everyday moments.
