About Us

Sharing His Love. Serving Others.

We’re passionate about worship (of many styles!), witness, and bringing the love of God to the world. We seek to create a strong church with good pastoral care, teaching, and fellowship, which is also always open and welcoming of newcomers.

We recognise we are a work in process and constantly seek to grow closer to God and each other in our practice, trusting in God’s promises of forgiveness and renewal. We believe our hope lies in the Gospel of Christ and his salvation which is a gift of the Triune God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We look to engage the good news of Jesus with pressing social issues of our time, believing our call to be salt and light in the world draws us into public engagement of our faith. We are a resurrection people, a hopeful people, a pilgrim people. And we would love to meet you and encourage you on your journey.
