Our Mission
To be a life changing church.
Our Vision

The Church I See...
- A Church that is so captivated and passionate about our God and His love for the world that the community will not help but notice the Kingdom of God is here.
- A Church where people are empowered to fulfil God.s calling on their lives.
- A Church where people are supported and cared for as we do life together.
- A Church where people are desperate to reach out to a lost world and do so following the example of Jesus.
- A Church that is constantly multiplying by creating and growing.
- A Church who is listening to the voice of God and is obedient to His voice.
- A Church that is so impacted by God and His presence that we are transformed into His likeness and bring the fullness of the gospel to the world.
- A Church who contends in prayer and is extravagant in our worship as it flows from our love and obedience to God.
- A Church that stands on the authority of the word of God and moves in the power of His Spirit.
- A Church that stands with Christians around the world as we present the gospel of Jesus.
Our Core Beliefs:
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.
- Sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
- The Lord Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man, is the only One who can reconcile us to God and give us true purpose.
- In the Lord Jesus, virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His ministry and miracles, in His death on a cross in our place, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His imminent return.
- In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruit and gifts available for all believers.
- In order to come into relationship with God and fulfil His purpose for our lives, we must repent of our sins and put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him.
- Our eternal destination of either Heaven or Hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
- God's desire for us is that we are baptised in water, and participate in the Lord.s supper.
- God's desire for us is that we are empowered by being baptised in the Holy Spirit with an outward expression following this experience. We then live a Spirit filled life by being continually filled with the Holy Spirit.
- In an enemy called the devil, who has been defeated by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. His purpose is to steal, kill and destroy.
- God's desire is to bring release and freedom for those who are bound up in sin, sick or in pain, and/or oppressed.
- The Bible is the living words of God - infallible, authoritative, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine and lifestyle.
- The Church is the body of Christ, with each member being an active part of a local church, fulfilling the Great Commission and following Jesus example.
