 Our Purpose

Jesus was asked by a lawyer what the most important commandments are. He replies that they are to love God and to love others (Matthew 22:34-29). This seems a good place to start to express our sense of who we are.

We are a church who will Love God & Love Others.

 

Our Practices

Relying upon the grace, mercy, patience, kindness, power and love of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit we will express our purpose using these practices…

Meet, Share, Love, Forgive, Encourage, Welcome, Serve, Mission

 

We will meet together, adults and children, to listen to and learn about God, to worship God and to put His words into practice.

We will share our lives with one another, celebrate our faith together, eat meals together, have fun and laugh together.

We will love one another and be loved.

We will forgive one another and be forgiven.

We will challenge and encourage one another and be encouraged and challenged.
