Who we are
A church isn’t a building. Church is a gathering of people who want to learn about and follow Jesus Christ. It’s a network of relationships based upon our relationship with Christ. That means that getting to know a church means getting to know the people who make up that church and the God who we worship and serve.
We are a diverse family from different cultures, ages and backgrounds, united around Jesus.
We believe in every-member ministry; that every believer has a part to play in God’s church, by exercising the gifts and abilities that God has given them.
What matters to us
-
Good news
As a Church we are passionate about promoting the good news about Jesus Christ. We believe that because Jesus came into the world, died on a cross and rose again that all who believe in him have eternal life with God. This good news is found in the Bible, it’s our authority for all of life and its teaching is central to our times of worship.

Baptist
We believe the Bible teaches that when a person hears, understands and believes the good news of Jesus Christ, they should respond by faith. This means turning from sin, trusting Christ for salvation and obeying him as Lord. One of the first steps in obedience to Jesus is believers’ baptism. This involves immersing the whole person in water as a rich symbol of what has already taken place in their life.

Independent
We are a local church, that governs itself under the guidance of the Bible. We have good relationships with many other Bible believing churches, but are entirely financed by the voluntary gifts of those involved in this church.
