Beliefs & Aims
We are a local community of Jesus disciples, saved by God's grace and living in the power of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that:
God created us perfect for a relationship with Himself;we spoiled this perfect creation by our sins and so must face God's judgement;
Jesus Christ came to rescue and save us. He died on the cross to pay the penalty of everybody's sin;
Jesus overcame death, rose again and is alive today. He will come again as King over all creation;
Everyone who accepts by faith what Jesus has done becomes a Christian;
The Church is not a building but a people who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord;
Our authority for believing all this is the Bible, God's Word, which his Holy Spirit makes meaningful to us today.
Our aims are:
to make the good news of Jesus known wherever we have opportunity;
to engage in worship and prayer with all our heart, soul, mind and strength;
to be filled with the Spirit, showing his fruit in our lives and using the spiritual gifts he gives us;
to be taught by God's word and to order our lives by it;
to serve and support one another in the love of God.
We want to share the Good News with YOU. So come along and receive a warm welcome!
