Our Values
WE ARE A Welcoming Church
We are a church that makes visitors feel so welcome, that they will want to return. Regardless of age, stage, past or present, you are welcome in the family of God and can find a place to belong, whether you believe in Jesus or not
WE ARE A Gathering Church
We prioritise gathering together with the family of God in connect groups and at church services because it is how we grow in our faith and in community
WE ARE A Growing Church
We actively seek ways in which we can grow personally and collectively as we fulfil the great commission, and will continuously work to extend the kingdom of God here on Earth
WE ARE A Serving Church
To serve in the house of God is the highest expression of worship to God and a privilege that we love to participate in. Because Jesus has given us his best, everything we do is done to the highest standard of excellence that we can bring
WE ARE A Giving Church
We are a generous church and believe that giving financially to the work of God’s kingdom, through tithes and offerings, is a privilege that we voluntarily participate in
WE ARE AN Equipping Church
We believe that it is our job as the church to equip believers to discover their purpose in God, grow to their potential, and create opportunities that they can exercise their God-given gifts for the benefit of the body and for the wider community
WE ARE A Going Church
We exist to fulfil the great commission of Jesus to go into all the world and make disciples. This is not a mandate just for staff, but for every believer
WE ARE A Balanced Church
We acknowledge that church activities can sometimes encroach on family life and have seasons of business, but church programs and events should never come at the cost of family and people’s well being. No program is so sacred that it cannot be re-evaluated in light of family life balance
