Mission and Activities

The primary activity of Flow Church is the establishment and operation of a physical church as a place of worship and spiritual teaching. Its mission centers on spreading the Christian gospel and nurturing the spiritual growth of its members through worship services and community engagement[1].

Worship and Community Structure

Flow Church incorporates a blended model of ministry that includes large corporate worship gatherings and smaller, more intimate small group meetings. Corporate worship services are held on the first and third Sundays of each month, providing communal opportunities for praise and teaching. On the second and fourth Sundays, members meet in small groups hosted in homes to foster close relational connections and deeper community ties. This structure emphasizes relational ministry and reflects a move away from purely attractional church models towards more organic community growth[5].

Leadership

Sam Lim serves as the lead pastor of Flow Church. With a background that includes theological training and previous ministry leadership, Lim has emphasized the importance of calling and relational connectivity in church planting and growth. His leadership reflects a focus on community-based ministry and adaptive approaches to church growth in a changing cultural landscape[5].

Flow Church Incorporated represents a contemporary model of Pentecostal church planting in Australia, blending traditional worship with intentional small group community-building to foster spiritual development and connectivity among its members.
