WHO WE ARE

We are a community who pursue an atmosphere where salvation, healing and people being set free is common place; and where miracles, signs & wonders are very welcome. We love the gifts of the Holy Spirit, but desire above all else to worship the one who gives them.

Our CORE Values

INTIMACY WITH GOD

We believe that intimacy with God is the starting point for who we are and what we do. We want all that we do be out of a place of deep intimacy with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – wanting to be Spirit led in everything.

WORSHIP

This naturally flows from our first core value and we see it as a privilege to be able to worship God freely. We recognise that true worship is a lifestyle and not just about music and creativity.

PROPHETIC

We love to hear about what God is saying and speak that out whether that be a corporate word or personal prophecy.

PRAYER

As well as the part it plays in both personal and corporate intimacy with the Lord, we believe prayer changes things.

DISCIPLESIP

We believe this is foundational to the way we bring through the next generation and developing Godly character.

COMMUNITY

The way the church is described in Acts 2:42-47 is our model and we want to see relationships, marriages and families flourishing. We believe the biblical truth that everyone has something to contribute is best outworked in community.

SALVATION & TRANSFORMATION

We dream and desire to see lives transformed, and everyone impacted by the Gospel. We long to see Jesus in greater measure all the time and everywhere

KINGDOM VISION

We have a vision that is bigger than just ourselves, wanting to see the whole church grow and seeing our nation impacted. As part of this, we look to build relationships with other ministries and congregations in the area.
