Our Vision
Our Vision is to transform each church member into a Christ-led disciple, nurtured and equipped by God's word to then reflect God's love to the community.
We Believe
-
that God is the Creator of our World and of all that exists in it.
-
that Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man; that by His suffering, death and resurrection we are saved from our sins.
-
that the Holy Spirit calls us by the Gospel and keeps us in the faith.
-
that our response to this great gift of Jesus Christ should be one of praise and thanksgiving evidenced by our worship as a community of believers and our expression of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His love in our everyday lives.
