and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

God

We believe in the Holy Spirit, God’s present activity in our midst.
When we sense God’s leading, God’s challenge, or God’s support or comfort, it’s the Holy Spirit at work.

humaNS

We believe that human beings were created in the image of God,
and like God have the capacity to love and care,
to communicate and to create.

we strive to be God’s hands and feet to the community.

THE BIBLE

We believe in the Bible, God’s Holy Word and the primary authority for our faith and practice.

 We believe in God’s Reign, the Kingdom –
both a present reality and a future hope.

We believe in the gift of salvation
 given in grace for every single person.

THE SACAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION

We believe in the sacrament of Holy Communion, as a reminder of God’s amazing love toward us, a sacrament that is open to all people, young and old alike.

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISM

We believe in the sacrament of Baptism, whether infant or believer’s baptism, as the means of entering into the Church.
