"To be disciples and to make disciples"We value...

... community life, understanding the church as a family to which people belong, not just a place to which people go. It is founded on unconditional love and acceptance, and an appreciation of the immense value of every person.... prayer as our priority, recognizing we are powerless to affect positive change outside of God's power, mercy and will.

... the Bible as the Word of God, allowing what it says to govern what we believe and how we live.... the presence of the Holy Spirit, relying on Him for the daily empowerment and transformation of our lives.... the worship of God as daily life and sacrifice, not just as weekly corporate gatherings. It is our heartfelt response to his grace and, in a corporate setting, may include singing, prayer, preaching and the sacraments.... the family unit, seeking to strengthen both marriage and home life. We view children not only as the leaders of tomorrow but also as the church of today.... those who are poor and disenfranchised, seeking to minister to both, whether locally or abroad.... those who are not yet Christians, endeavouring to share the good news of Christ with them through both word and deed.

... financial stewardship as the responsibility of every member through the regular giving of tithes and offerings... servant leadership, where God appointed leaders enable the Church to be released for ministry, with the attitude "your success is my honour".
