Our Melbourne West Pastors
Bronson & Gabby have a love for Melbourne’s west and for the local church. They believe every person has a God destined future and want to come alongside people to help them discover it. They have been leading Elevation Melbourne West since 2016 and have three children: Joelle, Ethan and Roman.
Our Vision
Multiplying Healthy Local Churches to Transform Our Cities
We believe that flourishing local churches are the heartbeat of every community. To effectively reach our communities with the message of Jesus, we focus on multiplying these vibrant churches. Our success isn’t defined by how many seats we fill but by how many lives we send to make a difference.
In multiplication, there’s space for everyone. Growing together amplifies our impact and extends our influence, making room for every person.
Our Mission
Creating environments that inspire intimacy with Christ, relationship with others, and influence in our world.
Life flourishes in connection—first with God, then in community with others, and finally, in making a tangible impact in our world. At Elevation, our mission is to cultivate spaces where you can thrive in these connections, experiencing the fullness of life as intended. We do this through services, life groups and our various ministries.
We are Authentic
At Elevation, authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in being real with ourselves, transparent with others, and sincere in our relationship with Christ. This means embracing our true selves, acknowledging our strengths and weaknesses, and fostering genuine connections. We desire to build a community where people can feel safe to come as they are and allow Jesus to transform their lives from the inside out.
We are Adventurous
We are called to live boldly and bravely, stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing the unknown. At Elevation, we don’t play it safe; we seek out new challenges and adventures, trusting that God will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. This adventurous spirit drives us to innovate, take risks, and push the boundaries of what is possible, all in the pursuit of spreading the gospel and transforming lives.
We are Fun
Life is meant to be enjoyed, and at Elevation, we believe in balancing hard work with joy and laughter. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, understanding that a light-hearted approach can often open hearts and build bridges. By cultivating an atmosphere of fun, we make our community a vibrant and welcoming place where people are excited to come together, share experiences, and celebrate life’s moments, big and small.
We are Spirit Led
With Christ at the center of all we do, we make room for the Holy Spirit to guide us in our everyday moments. At Elevation, we are committed to creating an environment where the Holy Spirit is welcome to move in us and through us, empowering us to live out our faith with passion and purpose.
