Five priorities
How we live this out
Five commitments that shape our weekly rhythm together.
-
01
Worship
Personal prayer, family devotions, varied small-group settings and collective worship gatherings every Saturday.
-
02
Biblical teaching
Spoken ministry through preaching, Sabbath School, Bible studies and seminars, plus the lived example of members sharing studies with friends.
-
03
Care for each other
Christianity at its core is supporting people, particularly those experiencing marginalisation. We look after one another in friendship, prayer and practical help.
-
04
Gift-based ministry
Church involvement is more than passive observation. Every member is encouraged to discover and exercise their spiritual gifts in service.
-

Reaching out
An outward-facing faith. We seek opportunities to bless our local community in everything we do.
