An anthem is a song that binds people together and sets them apart. It's the chorus that resonates in the hearts of those with a common belief. It's a place where the voice of an individual is added to the collective sound of a gathering. It's the sound of unity amplified as those with a Kingdom focus come together. Anthem Church is a community that exists to preach Jesus and love people. Our vision is to add a new sound to the timeless message of the gospel in the Sunshine Coast region.

2 Chronicles 20:1-30 In this passage, we see that worship isn't a passive and quiet act that takes us out of battle - rather, worship is a defiant act of insurrection against the Prince of this world! We can't be surprised that it comes under attack, requires divine power to maintain, takes great courage. Worship is war, and it isn't pie in the sky…

1 Corinthians 13 When we think about worship, we inevitably end up talking about feelings. We talk about our motivation, our interest, our preferences, our distractions, and our sensibilities.
