To love people into a relationship with Jesus Christ and to see communities transformed through the practical expression of biblical Christianity.
Our Vision:
We see God's people working together in a spirit of unity and cooperation toward a common task of loving our neighbours as Jesus commanded.
We see people sharing God's love in practical ways - with no strings attached - as barriers are broken down and bridges are built to help move people closer to Christ.
We are motivated by the amazing love of God which has been poured out into our lives.
“God our Savior showed us his kindness and love. He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did. He declared us not guilty because of his great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life. These things I have told you are all true. I want you to insist on them so that everyone who trusts in God will be careful to do good deeds all the time. These things are good and beneficial for everyone.” Titus 3:4-8 NLT
We are guided by the example & teachings of Jesus as revealed in the Bible. We make it our constant aim to reproduce His love to others through the practice of humility, kindness, extraordinary service, and treating others as we would want them to treat us.
“Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all. For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:43-45 NLT
“But my life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus – the work of telling others the Good News about God’s wonderful kindness and love.” Acts 20:24 NLT
We are empowered by the Holy Spirit who produces the evidence of Christian character in our lives. We believe in the indwelling power and gifts of the Holy Spirit so that every believer is enabled to live a more godly life and to be of greater value to friends, to family, to society & to God's purposes.
“When the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.”Galatians 5:22-23 NLT.
“And no doubt you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with him.” Acts 10:38 NLT
We value partnership and cooperation as we give ourselves away for the advancement of God's kingdom.
"If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life." Mark 8:35 NLT
