Our Mission:
“To be disciples and to make disciples”
Our Values:
- 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.
- We value prayer as our priority, recognizing we are powerless to affect positive change outside of God’s power, mercy and will.
- We value the Bible as the Word of God, allowing what it says to govern what we believe and how we live.
- We value the presence of the Holy Spirit, relying on Him for the daily empowerment and transformation of our lives.
- We value 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.
- We value 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.
- We value those who are poor and disenfranchised, seeking to minister to both, whether locally or abroad.
- We value those who are not yet Christians, endeavoring to share the good news of Christ with them through both word and deed.
- We value financial stewardship as the responsibility of every member through the regular giving of tithes and offerings.
- We value servant leadership, where God appointed leaders enable the Church to be released for ministry, with the attitude ‘your success is my honor.’
