The following key distinctives sum up our DNA: Bible
We believe that the Bible is God’s timeless and authoritative Word for our world. We thus make teaching and preaching the Bible our primary focus (Matt 4:4).
Jesus We believe that Jesus Christ is God’s Son, the perfect representation of God. We thus have Jesus as the centre of life and worship (1 Jn 5:12). Maturing We believe that being a Christian is a journey to becoming like Jesus. We thus aim to grow and deepen in our faith by faithfully applying Jesus’ teaching to our lives (Phil 3:12-15).
Reaching We believe that Jesus is the only hope for people of all nations. We are therefore passionate about communicating Jesus’ gospel (Good News) to people locally and worldwide (Matt 28:19-20). Church We believe that the church is a unified collection of people who know and love Jesus. We thus take our identity seriously and come together for corporate worship on a weekly basis (Heb 10:25).
