Firstly – we are worshippers; transformed and fuelled by the grace of God in Jesus. We strive to love God with all our hearts, soul, mind and strength (Luke 10:27)

Secondly – we are family; God’s adopted children. The bible is full of all the ways the church is called to love, care for, encourage, and serve one another (John 13:34)

Lastly – everyone’s a witness. We want to love our neighbour in word and deed as we seek to care for the least, the last, and the lost (Matt 28:19-20)

We believe in the absolute truthfulness, sufficiency and final authority of Scripture. This value is expressed through the Bible having the central place in governing doctrine, practice, ethos and patterns of church life.

The message of grace in the gospel is central to everything we do; in Christian life and the local church. Grace ought to be expressed and enjoyed in relation to salvation, sanctification, church life, relationships and leadership. The gospel should be constantly, and consistently celebrated in the heart of a believer. For salvation is a work of God from start to finish.

We believe that all the gifts in Scripture are available and desirable today for building the local church and extending the Kingdom of God. We believe every Christian is filled, and should go on being filled with the Spirit as part of God’s desire to empower us for Christian life and witness.

The one true God who lives eternally in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God – fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God’s image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.

The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ – born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.

The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.

The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

The church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers — given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit’s gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
