If you’re wondering exactly what type of church we are, hopefully this page some answer some of those questions.

• We believe the Bible is the written word of God and what is revealed in there about Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit – the Godhead.
• We believe there is one God; almighty, everlasting, and unchanging; who exists eternally in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; who is sovereign in all things; past, present and future.
• Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of a virgin. He lived as a man, fully human, yet fully God.
• To restore man’s relationship with God, He died on a cross, was raised from the dead and now lives with the Father. We believe He will come back for His people, the church.
• Jesus’ death paid the punishment that should have been ours, destroying the hold of sin in our lives and His resurrection conquered death enabling us to live for eternity with Him.
• Men need to admit they have rebelled against God, repent of their rebellion and give their lives back to God.
• we believe there is no heirachy of Christians. No-one is held in higher regard than anyone else. All fall short of God’s standard and all rely on our Father’s Grace and mercy.
• We do not believe in ‘one man ministry’. All Believers have access to the Father, the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Nobody has a monopoly on God, but all of us have different roles to play in the church.
• We believe in the priesthood of all believers. There are times during the service for open prayer and for using our God-given gifts.
• We believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit are available to us now for the building up of the church.
• We believe in baptism as an outward sign of a change of heart and encourage all believers to get baptised.
• We believe in working with and for the community. To that end, we aim to integrate ourselves as fully into the local community as possible, through local events, weekly groups & activities and letting the church buildings at reduced rates to local community groups. God has brought us together to help and encourage each other.

Our Values

But what about our values? Here are the things we place particular importance on:

We value community. God has brought us together to help and encourage each other.

• We value the individual. God has made us all unique and therefore we value each other as God values us.
• We value marriage as a God instigated family unit for companionship and the nurturing of children. It mirrors God’s parental care for His world and, specifically for us, His children.
• We value children. They are special to God and they are in our care to help encourage and build them. They are part of the church now, not just the future.
• We value the lost. God loves this world and does not want us to be a club, but people who share His love and His care in the world.
• We value unity. Whether within the church, locally between churches, nationally or worldwide. We are one church serving one God.
