Everybody's Welcome
Whatever your faith background or spiritual tradition; whatever your belief system, ethnicity or culture or marital status - we're glad you're here.
Nobody's Perfect
Therefore, Jesus is at the centre of all we do. We are a community where it's OK to not be ok. That's why one of our most important rules is - keep it real.
Anything's Possible
We believe in the miracle of a changed life. We believe that God is real and active. We believe - there is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.
To grow a community that pursues maturity in Christ as they love God and love People
Key scripture:
You are to love the Lord, your God, with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, with every thought that is within you, and with all your strength. This is the great and supreme commandment. And the second is this: ‘You must love your neighbour in the same way you love yourself.’ You will never find a greater commandment than these.” [Mark 12:30-31 TPT]
We are and will continue to be a “Jesus community”, to find our life, health, vision, and strength in the person of Jesus Christ.
We will keep Jesus at the centre of our faith and life together.
DEVELOP A TRANSFORMING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
We want everyone to live with Jesus at the centre of their lives.
ENTER AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY WITH EACH OTHER
We value community as a necessary context in which spiritual formation can occur. It's where we find belonging and growth.
SERVE OTHERS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN FLOURISH
We value action empowered by the Holy Spirit as a natural outflow of our faith in Jesus.
We seek to express God's love through compassion and justice in our everyday lives.

God's Plan for your Life
For God so loved the world, the He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
Jesus was born, lived a sinless life and died in a way that mirrored the ritual sacrifices of the Old Testament festival of Atonement. He shed His blood on the cross at Calvary to pay the full price of the sins of all mankind so that we might be reconciled to God and begin to live empowered by His resurrected life.
