About Us
The tagline on our logo says it all really: We are involved in transforming lives for the glory of God.
We seek to be a group of people devoted to worshipping God, proclaiming the good news of Jesus, learning and growing through God’s word, caring for each other and serving the community around us.
There are certain things that are really important to us:
Prayer – We know we can do nothing without God’s help and power.
Practical Bible teaching – We believe that God speaks through the Bible about practical every day life situations.
Ministry of the Holy Spirit – Only through the power, enlightenment and gifts He brings are we able to know and serve our Lord, so we recognise that we need to be constantly open to his ministry among us.
Every member involvement – Every follower of Jesus has a role to play in the church family.
Diversity – Because we are diverse in background, culture, and age, we welcome the variety of style with which people worship and serve the Lord. For example, we value a blend of new and traditional songs and styles in music, and we have a very relaxed dress code!
Authentic relationships – We believe that in our relationships with each other we should display Christ-like acceptance, honesty, gentleness and love if we are to truly reveal God’s transforming power.
Youth – Children and young people are highly valued as part of the church of today and not just as the church of tomorrow.
Excellence – We believe that God deserves the very best we can give in all we do for him.
