BIBLICAL TRUTH
The Final Authority
We will live and lead our lives by God’s inspired word: The Bible. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
COVENANT
We Take God-Instigated Relationships Seriously
We believe Godly relationships serve the purposes of the Kingdom in our generation. We live in radical love, refuse to give into offence, are quick to forgive, and fight for the unity of our church. (Ephesians 4:3)
EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM
All People Matter To God
We will preach, teach, talk and spread the word. Nothing on earth is more powerful to transform lives and communities. We celebrate joyfully when people are saved. (Matthew 28:18-20)
GENEROSITY
We Live To Give
We choose to be contributors in the kingdom of God. We gladly give of our time, talents, and possessions from a heart of love with pure motives towards God’s House and one another. (Acts 20:35, Psalm 122:9)
HONOUR
Heaven’s Value
We honour God above us, the leaders over us, our family around us, and those in our care. (Romans 12:10, Hebrews 13:17)
EQUIPPING PEOPLE
Unlocking The Potential Of Every Believer.
There’s room for everyone to play their part. We recognise that we can grow so much more together than we can grow alone. (Psalm 25:9, Ephesians 4:12-16)
FAITH
We Believe
We will believe for great things from God, and attempt great things for God. With our faith, all things are possible with God. (Hebrews 11:1, Matthew 19:26, 1 John 5:14-15, Galatians 5:6)
GRACE
God’s Unmerited Favour.
Grace is what God has done for us, not what we can do for Him. It is the power of God to transform lives. We will extend grace to one another realizing that we are all a work in progress and create an environment where all are welcome. (Romans 5:17, Ephesians 2:8, Titus 2:11-12)
HOLY SPIRIT DEPENDENT
In Us, For Us, Through Us
We’re God’s people and led by His Spirit in all we do. We are inspired, empowered and distinguished by His presence. We consistently ask God to reveal His mind and His heart for His house and our lives. (Zechariah 4:6, Exodus 33:14-16, Romans 8:14)
COURAGE
Stand Up and Speak Up
We do not bow to fear and intimidation. We take a stand for God, His Word, our families, and those in our care. (1 John 4:4, 2 Timothy 1:7)
STEWARDSHIP
We’re Here To Serve A Name [Jesus], Not Make One.
We manage what is in our hands for the purposes of the Kingdom of God in our lives and our community. We love the assignor more than the assignment. It will never be ours, it will always be His. (Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 4:2, Deuteronomy 8:18)
BELONGING
Safe and Secure
We choose to love those in our church community and desire to see every member flourish. We will take care of the needs of those who belong to the house of God, keeping the door open for many others yet to join. (Psalm 69:9, Acts 20:28, Psalm 92:13)
