Vision

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mission Statement

Life Love Learn

Values

God and His local Church as an authentic, praying, life-giving, loving and growing community – a place where you believe as well as belong.

People as healthy, whole, loving families and individuals who enjoy serving God together.

The Bible, as it is the key to access the power of God, and for people to make genuine, life-changing decisions for Jesus Christ.

The Great Commission where every genuine, Spirit-filled believer is actively involved in local, national or international outreach.

The Gospel at work, preaching, teaching, healing and discipling, which require us to put our faith into action.
​
Educating generations as the best way to significantly influence our future and create a legacy.

Creating a venue, a special place that will expand our capacity, and be a resource for the future, so that God’s will can be done in people’s lives.

What we believe

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues which is the initial evidence of baptism in the Holy Spirit.

We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
