Mission
Statement
A
Church committed to the Bible and to Prayer
At the heart of our ministry is teaching the Bible as God’s key
instrument for proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord and for building up His
followers on earth.
Our worship is the offering of our entire lives to God in holiness and service.
Our main meetings are:
1)
to
encourage each other to feed ourselves on God’s word and to give ourselves to
prayer, so that we may worship God better in our lives, and
2)
to
draw in non-Christians without embarrassment, so that we might introduce them to
the good news of Jesus Christ.
A
Church committed to mature discipleship for every member
Some people are paid to organise the church’s life, but all are
ministers of the gospel.
We
therefore also meet in smaller groups to build one another up in the faith, and
to encourage one another to serve others according to our differing abilities
and opportunities, for His glory, so that we might all show the love of Christ
as well as proclaim it.
We
believe that God means us to grow, individually and as a church, that growth is
change, and change may be painful. For the sake of bringing the gospel to our
contemporaries, however, we would willingly face that challenge, subject to the
Bible’s clear teaching.
