Our Values


These values reflect what matters most to us. They guide how we lead, serve, and grow together as a church community.

Word-based

We believe the Bible is completely true, fully sufficient, and our final authority. It governs what we believe, how we live, and how we do church.

Grace-filled

The gospel of grace is central to Christian life and local church. Grace should be expressed in our salvation, church life, relationships and leadership.

Spirit-empowered

We believe that God's desire is to fill believers with his Spirit, empowering us for Christian life. This includes the gifts we see in Scripture, building church and extending God's Kingdom.

Our Elders

 

We believe that God raises up, and the church recognises elders/pastors, who govern and shepherd the church. The elders carry responsibility before God for the doctrine, discipline, direction and devotion of the church.

Our Beliefs

 

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternally existing in love and unity. God created the world and made us in His image, but sin has broken our relationship with Him and with each other.

Out of love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ—truly God and truly human—who lived without sin, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to bring us back to God. He now reigns in heaven and will one day return to make all things new.

We are saved by grace alone, through faith in Jesus. The Holy Spirit gives new life, helps us follow Christ, and equips us to share His love. As the Church, we are called to worship God, live out the gospel, and seek justice in the world.

We trust the Bible as God’s Word—faithful and true—and look forward to the day Jesus returns to bring eternal life to His people and restore all creation.
