Beliefs
It is important to us that what we believe and do is based on the Bible, which we taken to be the reliable word of God. We seek to present the Good News (gospel) of Jesus Christ – that God sent his Son into the world to die on the Cross, so that all those who trust in him are forgiven all their wrongdoing and enabled to live a new life with him by God’s Holy Spirit. We also believe that we should learn from the Bible how God wants us to live as Christians and to respond to the issues and circumstances of life today.
Our Mission
Our mission should be based on the following foundations:
Discipleship: Acts 2:42-47 - The desire to deepen our trust of God and grow more like Jesus. True discipleship grows when our life is directed by God’s Word and the Holy Spirit into a deeper holiness and Christ-likeness.
Evangelism: Matthew 28:19-20 - As ambassadors of Christ, we are to share the Gospel that connects with people’s lives, by the work of The Holy Spirit challenges their sin and so point them to the joy of forgiveness and united to Christ by faith, with the future hope of Eternal Resurrected Life.
