Statement of Faith

Our Purpose: ‘Why we are here…’

‘We are a Church that is committed to Bowing Down before God in vibrant worship, Bringing People in to His family, Building People up in Christ-like maturity so we are equipped for Christian service, and Branching Out with the good news of Jesus Christ in our local community’.

Our Values:

  • Thankfulness & Praise are the heart of our worship (Col 3:15-17)
  • Loving Relationships live at the heart of Christ’s church (Eph 4:2-3)

  • Faithful Prayer links our heart with the heartbeat of God (Phil 4:6-7)
  • A Servant Heart is the basis of our discipleship (Gal 5:13-14)
  • Caring for Others expresses Christ’s love (Col 4:2-6)

What We Believe:
