Our Vision
Our vision is to be an international and multi-generational church trained, motivated and mobilised to share the gospel to the lost and make disciples.
Mission Statement
We exist to love God and help people follow Jesus.
We believe
...in the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct...
One God , eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...
Our Lord Jesus Christ , God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His Personal return in power and glory...
The Salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit...
The Holy Spirit , by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ...
The Unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ...
The Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
Our Values
- We Value Our Relationship With God
The greatest gift Jesus has given to us through His death and resurrection is Himself. We make it our priority to enjoy our personal relationship with God. We believe that loving God is foundational to genuinely loving others and joyfully obeying God’s Word. - We Value Each Other
We are called to follow Jesus in community. That is why we aim to develop life-long relationships with our spiritual family. We find genuine and practical ways to love and encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ, and commit to sharing life with each other. - We Value The Lost
Because Jesus came to seek and save the lost, we are committed to extending Christ’s love and generosity to the unbelievers God has placed in our lives and introduce them to Jesus. - We Value Discipleship
We believe that Christianity is a life-long journey of being transformed and growing up spiritually. Since spiritual growth comes from God, we focus on ministering to people’s hearts and helping one another follow, obey and depend on Jesus. - We Value Marriage & Family
We believe that marriage is God’s idea and design. Therefore, our standards for marriage and parenting are based on His Word. We commit to glorifying Christ in our marriages and raising our children to be disciples. - We Value Corporate Prayer
We believe that praying and worshipping together is one of the most significant things we can do to cultivate unity in the church. For this reason, we gather every Monday night to worship and pray for the church.
