A Little about what we believe
We believe it’s important for every person:
1.To have a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
2.To become a whole person as a disciple of Jesus.
3.To be empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore each person needs:
a.To commit themselves to Jesus Christ
b.To worship regularly.
c.To become involved in a group where teaching is available to encourage us to live the Christian life enthusiastically.
d.To serve God in some way, either in the communityor church, by using our natural and God given gifts.
e.To regularly read the Bible and relate it to daily life in the home, workplace and in our recreation.
