Connect with God
 

Worship
We believe that ‘the chief end of man is to worship God and enjoy him forever’. Worship is a matter of giving our lives to God as living sacrifices and, as such, encompasses all we do in life. We believe that time given in praise and intimacy with God is one of the essential ways we are transformed into God’s likeness. We aim to give priority, privately and corporately, to worshipping God.

Prayer
Jesus called for His house to be a house of prayer for all nations. We are living in a time of worldwide awakening for intercession. We desire to participate in this as a church and as individuals. We want our individual lives, our homes, and our church to be places where priority is given to seeking God in prayer.

The Word
We recognize the authority of the Bible as the Word of God and seek to read it, meditate on it, and for our lives to be transformed according to its teachings. We expound and teach the Scriptures in our worship gatherings and in our Bible classes. We seek to teach the principles discovered in the Word of God in order to ‘equip the saints for the work of ministry.

Grow with Others

Community
We believe that Jesus Christ will return for His Church, which has ‘made herself ready.’ We seek to create a community of His followers that is transformed by His love; we seek to love one another, serve one another and live transparent lives. We want to be a family of God, committed to unity, loyalty and trust, encouraging one another and being ready to be led on further to live sacrificial lives in order to build up Christ's body, the church.

Ministry
The Church is a body where every member has a part to play. We are called to minister to one another through acts of service and also through spiritual gifts which God gives to His people. Whenever we meet, we are expectant that the Kingdom of God will come as people are healed and helped as we pray one for another. We encourage every member to be involved in ministry both within and outside the church.

Maturity
We are called to grow to maturity in Christ. Maturity can come through teaching and training, exercising faith, suffering, obedience and service. Evidence of growth includes fruitfulness in witness; growth in holiness; Christ-like character and the fruit of the Spirit.

Reach the World

Unity
Christ prayed that we may be ‘one so that the world might believe’. We believe that our unity will persuade, convince and convict people of the reality of Jesus Christ. We therefore seek within the church to keep the unity in the bond of peace.

Service
The Bible repeatedly calls us to seek justice and to serve the poor. We seek to have open hearts and hands to the poor of our city who are so often on our doorstep. We look for God-given projects which can give a face to this so that we can be an influence for good, making a difference in our city. Above all, we do not want our hearts to be hardened, but overflow in acts of compassion to the poor and the poor in spirit.

Mission
We believe that our calling is to bring the Kingdom of God to our city, our region, our nation and to the ends of the earth. We are aware of the extraordinary opportunity and responsibility represented by the presence of so many people who do not know Jesus in our city. We will seek to win them to Christ. We desire to ‘win, train and send’ laborers into the harvest field.
