Vision and Christian Living

The Word of God (the Bible) takes central place to our life together. When we meet as the gathered Church on Sunday mornings, God's Word is read and preached with passion and conviction through the power and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

We are a church that prioritises the need for prayer in public and private; thanksgiving, praise, intercessions and prayer ministry following the preaching of the Gospel are given prominence during our Sunday morning worship and also encouraged as part of a healthy personal relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Love is the key to building a Christ-centered community; without love, we are “no more than a resounding gong or clanging cymbal” (1 Corinthians 13:1).

Therefore, we strive to show and grow in the love of God and seek to reflect His love in our personal relationships with one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. We affirm the words of Jesus: “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).

Worship is the outflow of our gratitude and love for God. “Living Worship” stems directly from a living relationship with God our Father through our personal faith in His Son Jesus Christ. As we gather together in the Lord's presence, we will sing, play instruments, clap and dance as we lift our hands and voices to the Lord of all the earth. Corporate worship is to be a celebration of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Our Saviour and King!

We see all of our activities, both in Church and outside, as “worship” in a much broader sense, in accordance with Romans 12:1-2.

Evangelism is the act of intentional and personal communication of the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who do not yet know or have never previously heard about the love and mercy of God. We engage in various events and ministries through which we seek to reach out to those around us with the clear message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

The day-to-day activity of personal evangelism at home, school or in the workplace is also encouraged as an effective and accessible means to share our faith and personal testimony to the life-changing power of the Gospel.

Faith without works is dead. We seek to serve our town and one another in practical ways — through hospitality, pastoral care, partnership with local agencies and support for those in need.
