What Matters to us
Everything we do, we do in response to God's extravagant love for us. Here are a few of the things that are important to us and that shape our church life. We believe in a loving God who showed his kindness to us by sending his son, Jesus Christ, to live amongst us. Jesus died on the cross, was buried and came back to life three days later. This all happened to settle the debt we owed God for our failings.
We believe that God gave us the Bible to teach us the truth about Him and to show us how to live life in a way that pleases God – and better for us, too. We believe that God gives us the Holy Spirit, which is essential to help us live as a Christian. He helps us to understand the Bible and the character of God. He also helps us apply what He teaches so that we can live out the things we read in the Bible.
We believe that God has given us each other here in the Church to be a family in which we can care for each other and learn from each other. We recognize that, whoever we are, everyone is special to God, and God gifts us in different ways to benefit the whole family.
