Our Vision & Values
Who are we?
We are an apostolic, missional, and disciple making community. Our desire is to love God with all our hearts, to seek first the Kingdom of God, and to obey Him for the advancement of His will.
Our Vision
Our vision and aims are rooted in the belief that God desires all people to be saved, so the essence of His heart and love for us is both restorative and redemptive. Simply put it is for all people to know God personally, and for them to be empowered to walk in their godly purpose and destiny in the community and wider society. He wants to fix the broken parts of our lives, and to change the world that we live in to be the better place He intended, and that through Him all nations might be saved.
Our Focus
Is on community and community development, with a heart to see our towns, cities, regions, and nations transformed to be the thriving places of life that God desires them to be; through practically demonstrating His love, and empowering people to live out their faith in every sphere of society, living as faithful witnesses and obedient disciples of Jesus Christ.

Small groups, larger gatherings, fellowship, prayer and teaching, (Acts 2:42), equipping and direct participation. Practice in safe places (Heb 5:14), encouragement and support (1 Thes 5:11), prefer and honour one another (Rom 12:10).
To Send Out
To be sent out to share the good news of the gospel (Matt 10:5, Mark 10:1) and to reach out to your local community and neighbours to support and serve them (Luke 10:27), and to pray for them. (1 Tim 2:1-3).
To Replicate & Plant Churches
To go out to all the towns and cities around you, and into the wider world (Acts 1:8). Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, and communities, not just individuals (Mat 28:18-20). To train equip and release the saints into the calling and good works that God has prepared for them in advance (Eph 2:10 & Eph 1:11).
To Transform our Communities
To undo the heavy burdens and let the oppressed go free (Isa 58:6), and to be repairers of the breach and restorers of streets to dwell (Isa 58:12). As the land and the earth has been given to the children of men (Psalm 115:16), to dwell in and keep (Psalm 37:29 & 34).
