What we Believe

images-heart-shape

We believe in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible, having an impact on those who have not yet heard or experienced the great news about Jesus Christ.

We believe we should share the good news about Jesus, equip people in their faith journey and see them live out their faith in the world.

At the church, we believe in…

The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.

The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; His ascension to the Father, and His reign and mediation as the only Savior of the world.

The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.

The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfill the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand, what to expect at a Sunday service.

Where and When

We currently meet in a home for our Sunday service starting at 4:00 p.m. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to give you time to park and find a seat before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We typically share a meal together after the service. This is a great way to meet people and make connections. There is no cost. As our guest, we are happy to serve you. We hope that you will join us!

Our Service

Our service begins at 4:00 pm with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of worship, led by our worship team. We typically have 2 or 3 songs. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?

We have a great program lined up for kids of all ages:

Nursery (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
Pebbles (3-11 years)
Youth (11-18 years) stay in service

Children stay with their parents or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs, and announcements. We really value worshiping God all together as a family. At some point, the younger members will be dismissed to go to their class. You will need to go with your children to register them as part of our child safety policy. While you are dropping your kids off, we will pause to take time to chat to someone sitting nearby, giving you a chance to come back before the sermon begins.

The kids group activities may vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, Bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, fun games, and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.
