Like any community, some things are especially important to us and these values set the
atmosphere amongst us and guide our decisions and future direction. You can find a more
detailed list of what we believe from the Scriptures here, and the following are our 8 core
values as a church:

​

1. We are Christ centred – He is the head of the church, our Saviour and our Lord, and we worship Him.

 

2. We are family – we are part of the Father’s family so are relational. Community is at our heart. There’s a place for everyone and all nations. We are welcoming, inclusive, open, honest, caring, forgiving, serving, prayerful and giving.

 

3. We live in the Spirit – the life of God comes to us through the Holy Spirit. He transforms us and we experience God’s love through him. He empowers our worship, prayer, ministry and mission.

​

4. We are founded on Scripture – the Bible is our final authority in all matters of belief and practice. It is also the principal way through which God will speak to us.

 

5. We are apostolic – we look beyond. The church is God’s vehicle for His Kingdom expansion to change the world. We look to pioneer and plant.

 

6. We are missional – introducing people to hope. God loves and values people so we join with Him in his mission of reaching out and transforming lives. 

 

7. We value growth and opportunity – we are each disciples of Christ, growing in our likeness of Him. There is opportunity for all to participate, carry responsibility and play our part in God’s family and Kingdom growth.

 

8. We have a heart for the poor – our heart mirrors God’s heart for the poor – He intends for all people to flourish.
