OUR BELIEFS
Vision Statement
To know Jesus and lovingly make Him known.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to Him as Lord and Savour and sends us out to proclaim His Lordship to the world. There is a coming and then a going.
The coming
By the word of the Gospel He calls us individually into a saving relationship with Him. He makes us part of a new community where we learn from Him through His Word and His Spirit, and minister to one another with the grace gifts He distributes. In these ways we are shaped in Christian character and living.
The going
He sends us out into the world to proclaim the Gospel by word and deed. Transformed lives and attractive Christian community authenticate the Gospel.
This coming and going is repeated continuously. As others respond to the gospel and join the Christian community, they, in turn go out with the gospel.
