We Honour - God Above all

The Bible tells us to outdo one another in showing honour... and in doing so we ultimately honour God.

We Pursue - The Spirit and the Word

We believe that the presence and power of the Holy Spirit is essential in serving God. We believe in the authority of God's word

We Live - The Mission

We believe that Jesus has called the church to go in to the world and tell the good news that ghe loves them and has come in to the world to set them free

We Serve - God and Others

Jesus said the greatest in the kingdom is the servant of all. Our heart is to be the servants of God and that he would use our church to help others.

We Give - Generously

We believe that God has blessed us so that we can be a blessing. We use our finances to support a variety of ministries and projects both in the UK and Overseas.

We Belong - You can too

We believe that Church is about Family - God's Family... sometimes we are a bit dysfunctional but we try really hard to love one another and welcome new people to find a safe place.
