what we believe
Our core beliefs are rooted in Scripture, rather than speculation or tradition. Though we seek to be geared to the times, we are determined to anchor ourselves to the rock of timeless truth.
The followers of Jesus are Citizens of the Kingdom, whilst being citizens on the earth. We see in our city and nation how sins of racism and prejudice pervade our society, bringing pain and suffering and raising important issues that need to be addressed. None of us are unaffected by this. We recognize that there are many different voices, perspectives and narratives around this and, as a church, we believe that the Bible should be the loudest voice for followers of Jesus. It calls us to reflect, repent and move into action. The gospel shines its bright light onto this topic.
Whether new to faith, or seasoned, we are all to be growing in Christlikeness in this area of life. We all have areas in our lives that need to be more fully submitted to the sanctifying work of Christ. We ask him to keep revealing areas of our personal lives and church practices that are not in submission to him that we may be changed and better glorify him in our lives. He is our model, our saviour, our healer and the One we want to honour in the way we relate, serve and love one another.
