  Our Values
  1. South American indians reading a Bible We believe that the Bible in one’s heart language is essential to the growth of true discipleship.
  2. In accordance with the Word of God and as disciples of Jesus Christ we are people who strive to:
    Demonstrate God’s love
    Depend on the Holy Spirit
    Exercise spiritual discipline
    Care for each other
    Be properly trained
    Serve in excellence
  3. We seek to help others to become and live as true disciples of Jesus Christ.
  4. We rely on God’s strength through prayer and faith.
  5. We take the urgency of God’s mission seriously.
  6. Team-work is essential to fulfilling the task.
Our Beliefs
  1. Two hands point to Bible We believe the Bible, the inspired Word of God, is completely trustworthy, speaking with supreme authority in all matters of belief and practice.
  2. We believe in one God, who exists eternally in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
  3. We believe all people, being created in the image of God, have intrinsic value, but as a result of sin are alienated from God and each other, and are therefore in need of reconciliation.
  4. We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, is fully God and fully human; He demonstrated God's love for sinners by suffering the penalty of death in their place, rose bodily from the dead and ascended to heaven where He intercedes for His people.
  5. We believe all who repent and trust in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Saviour are, by the grace of God, declared to be right with Him, receiving forgiveness and eternal life.
  6. We believe the Lord Jesus Christ will return personally in glory, raise the dead, and judge the world.
  7. We believe all people will rise from the dead, those who are in Christ to enjoy eternal life with God, and those who are lost to suffer eternal separation from Him.
  8. We believe in the Holy Spirit who imparts new life to those who believe in Christ; through His indwelling presence and transforming power He gives assurance and equips believers for holy living and effective service.
  9. We believe the Church is the body of Christ, the fellowship of all believers, and is commissioned to make disciples of all nations.
