Our Mission

To make disciples of Christ, for the glory of God

Our Values (F.U.E.L.S.)

FAITH
We are faith-filled, big thinking, risk takers. 
 
We will never insult God with small dreams or safe living.
URGENCY
Our time is short, our calling is divine, and our enemy is active.
 
We have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but just one short hour before sunset in which to win them.
EXCELLENCE
We will always bring our best.
 
Excellence in everything honors God and inspires people.
LOVE
We will relentlessly put God and then others before ourselves.
 
That's what true love is, and it is the secret to happiness.
SERVANT-HEARTEDNESS
We are spiritual contributors, not spiritual consumers.
 
The church does not exist for us.  We are the church, and we exist for the world.

The statement of faith below includes some of our main core beliefs. For more detail, please get in touch with the elders here.

In particular, we're passionate about the good news (the “gospel”) of Jesus Christ - see here.

Statement of Faith

1. There is one God in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

2. God is sovereign in creation, revelation, redemption and final judgement.

3. The Bible, as originally given, is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It is the supreme authority in all matters of belief and behavior.

4. Since the fall, the whole of humankind is sinful and guilty, so that everyone is subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.

5. The Lord Jesus Christ, God’s incarnate Son, is fully God; he was born of a virgin; his humanity is real and sinless; he died on the cross, was raised bodily from death and is now reigning over heaven and earth.

6. Sinful human beings are redeemed from the guilt, penalty and power of sin only through the sacrificial death once and for all time of their representative and substitute, Jesus Christ, the only mediator between them and God.

7. Those who believe in Christ are pardoned of all their sins and accepted in God’s sight only because of the righteousness of Christ credited to them; this justification is God’s act of undeserved mercy, received solely by trust in him and not by their own efforts.

8. The Holy Spirit alone makes the work of Christ effective to individual sinners, enabling them to turn to God from their sin and to trust in Jesus Christ.

9. The Holy Spirit lives in all those he has regenerated. He makes them increasingly Christ-like in character and behavior and gives them power for their witness in the world.

10. The one holy universal church is the Body of Christ, to which all true believers belong.

11. The Lord Jesus Christ will return in person, to judge everyone, to execute God’s just condemnation on those who have not repented and to receive the redeemed to eternal glory.
