This clearly expresses our main aims as a church -
Evangelism - growing NEW followers of Jesus by talking about the gospel to unbelievers.
Edification - growing AS followers of Jesus by teaching believers to live out the gospel.
Our Core Values:
We value the good news that, because of God's love for us, he sent His Son Jesus Christ to die in our place to bring us forgiveness of sins. We seek to share this news.
We value the Bible, which speaks with all the authority of God.
We value clear Bible teaching, which by the power of God's Spirit impacts on our lives and helps us grow as obedient and faithful followers of Jesus.
We value prayer, as we recognise God's authority over all things, and we seek to pray according to His will.
We value practical demonstrations of love towards one another.
We value small groups as a means of better knowing, loving and serving both God and one another.
We value all people, and warmly invite them to follow Jesus as we do.
We value church activities that are welcoming and understandable to everyone.
We value simplicity.
We value best-possible-quality.
We value the future as well as the past, and seek to relate to our world in fresh ways, without compromising our commitment to obey the Lord Jesus.
We value integrity and humility in our lives and relationships.
We insist on integrity and humility in the lives of our present and future leaders.
We value and support leaders who serve the church by leading and lead the church by serving.
