KEY CHRISTIAN BELIEFS which shape us

Jesus is Lord of all and the only savior of the world.

Make Disciples by reaching unchurched people, helping them begin following Jesus and helping them mature as disciples.

Worship is the basic response to God’s love in Jesus Christ. - Active, engaging and creative.
One sized does not fit all.

Bible led and shaped

100% Mission - Serve Jesus 24/7. We are all missionaries at our jobs, at play, at home, and at church we are servants not customers of religious goods.
