Love, care and support each other through the ups and downs of life.

Share Jesus’ love either others through compassion, understanding, hope and support.

Apprentice at the feet of Jesus, conforming out hearts and minds to His ways.

Live Generously

Offer our time, talents and resources, using what we have been given to serve others and show God’s love.

What We Believe

The Word of God

The Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Trinity

There is one living, sovereign God, who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, each having different functions in creation, providence, and redemption.

Acts 2:32-33 

God the Father

God the Father is perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. He hears and answers prayer, and saves those who come to Him through Jesus Christ.

John 3:16-17

Jesus Christ

Jesus was sent by the Father to live on earth and demonstrate the kind of life He intended for humanity to live. He was fully God and fully human, yet had no sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life and, after three days, rose from the grave. In doing this, Jesus fulfilled the payment for the world’s debt of sin.

Luke 1:31, 35, 1 Corinthians 15:3, 1 John 1:14, Hebrews 1:2-3 

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in every believer and is a constant helper, teacher, and guide.

John 14:16-17, 26, John 16:7-15, Romans 8:14-17, Ephesians 1:13-14

Regeneration

All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness. Those who confess and turn from their sin, trusting in Jesus Christ, will be saved by grace and become children of God, with the promise of eternal life.

John 3:16-18, Galatians 3:26, Titus 3:5

The Church

Jesus Christ is the head of the church and all believing people are members of His body. Our primary task is reaching out to the world with the message of God’s love and redemption.

Ephesians 2:19-22, 4:15-16

Christian Conduct

Believers should strive to live and love like Jesus by spending time with God, connecting in community, serving others, living generously and reaching the lost.

Colossians 3:17-23; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Baptism and the Lord's Supper

Baptism is the immersion of the believer in water as a symbol of their commitment to new life.

The Lord’s Supper (Communion) was given to the church by Christ as a way to remember his sacrificial death for us.

Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:41-42, 1 Corinthians 11:23-32

The End Times

Jesus Christ will return to earth one day and establish His kingdom.

Revelation 20:11-15
