“Seeking to be a community where,
Anyone can encounter the grace of God,
Everyone experiences the love of God,
Together we try to live the life of God.”

“To deliver this vision we have four values that we hope permeate all we do – Worshipping, Welcoming & Caring, Challenging, and Missional.”

Worshipping

We believe that God created all things, is active within His creation, and will save this creation. So, we ground our lives in worshipping this God. We worship together in song, prayer and reflection on a Sunday morning as we gather together. And we worship by how we live our lives throughout the rest of the week.

Welcoming & Caring

We recognise that this life has ups and downs, joys and challenges, accomplishments and hardships. And we believe that all of them are better when shared together in a community of faith. We seek to support and love one another sharing all that life brings. And we seek to welcome any and all who want to join this community of care.

Challenging

We are a church that challenges each other to love God and love our neighbour. We want to ask big questions and wrestle with the mystery of God. We want to embrace a simple trusting faith. We want to dream exciting dreams about what God might do amongst us and through us in the world.

Missional

We believe we have good news to share and we want to share it with our friends, family, neighbours, and colleagues. We want to live our lives in such a way that it helps to bring about God’s kingdom of justice and joy – and we want to partner with anyone who is doing the same.
