A multi-generational church with city wide impact; healthy, growing and full of love
About us
What we believe
As a church, we are a family consisting of brothers and sisters in Christ, fathers and mothers in the faith, adopted into the family of God.
-
We have a genuine love for each other; embracing people from different walks of life, and affirming each generation. Every believer has a valuable contribution to make (Rom 12, 1 Peter 2, 1 Cor 12, Eph 4).
-
Within our church family, we celebrate each individual’s uniqueness and ‘unity through diversity’. As a local church community we are passionate about impacting and supporting the wider community. We love to support our city, and partner with others who also seek its peace and prosperity. (Jer 29:7)
Word & Spirit
We have an equal burden for the Word and the Spirit, and vision to see them come together
-
The Word - we are committed to the absolute authority and accuracy of Scripture, even where it flies in the face of tradition, contemporary culture or intellectual fashion.
-
The Spirit - we are committed to experiencing (and not merely believing in) the presence and power of the Holy Spirit today. Taking the book of Acts as a vision of church life, we desire spiritual gifts and pursue the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Giving
Giving is part of our worship to God and part of our commitment to our church…we do so gladly, not out of duty, but because grace motivates us to discipline and commitment.
2 Corinthians 8 & 9 helps us understand several principles for generous giving:
-
Giving generously in view of the gift of Jesus to us (2 Cor 8:3-13, 9:1-15)
-
Giving proportionally (1 Cor 16:1-2). Setting a baseline amount (percentage) helps us be consistent and disciplined in giving
-
Giving being both bearable (2 Cor 8:13-14) yet sacrificial (2 Cor 8:2-3)
If you would like to give, then you can do this by Direct Debit or in-person on Sundays.
