Our Values
Values shapes behaviour and behaviour shapes culture. We are committed to building a healthy culture throughout the life of our church. Below are our 4 value statements. These values shape the culture of our church and help to define the kind of church we are committed to building.
TRUTH
We glorify God and edify the church through faithful scriptural teaching. We're dedicated to delivering God's whole counsel, building on TRUTH rather than TREND.
TABLES
We are committed to building healthy community, beginning with our Sunday services and extending beyond them.
TALKING WITH JESUS
We seek God's presence through prayer and worship both collectively and privately.
TOUCHING OUR COMMUNITY
Jesus has called us to be the light of the world. This means embracing the call to lead people to Jesus and being a faithful witness.
TRAINING
We are not TRYING to be disciples, we are TRAINING as disciples everyday. We are about equipping disciples to advance the kingdom of God through their everyday lives.
