The scriptures are God's timeless and living message that speaks into all of life (Hebrews 4:12-13; 2Timothy 3:16-17). We value the truth of God expressed in a clear and relevant way. This includes personal, small group and public teaching of the Word of God. Our message is one of simple faith in Jesus Christ and His work for us through His death and resurrection.

We believe that true worship contemplates and celebrates all that God is and does, and inspires us to respond with all that we are and do (Romans 12:1-3). We believe in corporate worship that is multigenerational, engaging and participatory. Through diverse elements such as the sacraments, music, prayer, scripture, the arts, and a lifestyle of worship we seek to delight God's heart, tell God's story, and serve God's people (Colossians 3:15-17).

We believe that the heart of Christianity is a personal and life transforming relationship with Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 12:1-2). This relationship begins and grows by trusting in Him (John 15:5) and following Him in daily obedience so that we become more and more like Him (Ephesians 4:13; Romans 8:29).

We value all people as Jesus did, accepting them where they are while inviting them to experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:28-30). We seek to share the gospel in ways that address the questions and needs of ordinary people (1 Corinthians 9:19-23). This also includes lifestyle evangelism by making our workplace our pulpit in life.

We equip and encourage believers through purposeful discipleship to serve to their full potential as God calls them (1 Peter 4:10). This means we recognize gift based ministry and a leadership style that facilitates and equips rather than dictates (Ephesians 4:11-16).

We believe that we are to be rooted and active in our local community (Jeremiah 29:7). We believe in networking with other agencies and church ministries in our community to further the gospel in word and deed.

We believe that we are to be active globally (Psalm 67, Acts 1:8). We believe in partnering with other agencies and church ministries globally through evangelism/discipleship, church planting, transformational development, the relief of poverty, encouraging indigenous churches, leadership development, the ministry of peacemaking and reconciliation and the stewardship of creation.

We believe that the most conducive environment for life change is to be found in relationships (Hebrews 10:24-25). The formation of groups for the purpose of mutual care, ministry and outreach is an essential part of our function as a church family. This includes forming a community, discovering giftedness and using opportunities to serve one another across the ages.

We believe that authenticity in our communication and integrity and respect in our relationships are critical for spiritual growth (Ephesians 4:1-3). This includes problem solving in an atmosphere of affirmation, confrontation and vulnerability. It also involves providing opportunities for the various ages to minister to and be ministered to by one another.
