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.

Our Service

There is no dress code here, so please just come as you are. Our service begins at 4:00 p.m. with a warm welcome followed by a time of worship. We typically have 3 or 4 songs. During this time, you may hear members pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people might share something that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might be a new experience for you, but it’s a natural part of how we connect with God together.

After a brief look at church news, one of our leaders shares a practical, biblically-based message. At the end of the service, there is an opportunity to receive prayer if you would like.
 

What about my kids?

We love having the whole church family worshipping God together! Children stay with their parents at the start of the service (welcome, songs, and announcements). We'll then announce when it's time for the younger members to head to their groups:
  • Nursery (0-3 years) A fun space for toddlers. (Infants <6 months are welcome to use the space, but must be accompanied by a parent.)​
  • Pebbles (3-11 years) A mix of Bible stories, music, crafts, and games.
  • Youth (11-18 years) Our teens stay in the main service for the sermon.  (Click here for more details about our youth group.)

Safety & Registration:  You will need to go with your children to register them as part of our child safety policy. While you're dropping them off, we'll take a short "chat break" to give you a chance to come back before the sermon begins. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Stay for food:  On the first Sunday of every month, please join us for a free community meal after the service.  As our guest, we'd love to serve you and get to know you better!

Getting Connected

Sundays are great, but our Small Groups are where you can really build friendships and find support.  We would love to put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

We also invite you to join our
Alpha course -- a relaxed space to explore the big questions of life and faith.


We hope, whoever you are, that you will feel at home at our church.
