Our Values
1. We are committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Martha, one of Jesus’ first disciples, said to Jesus, “Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
See John 11:27
‘Doubting’ Thomas stopped doubting! He acknowledged Jesus: “My Lord and my God!”
See John 20:28
2. We are committed to the Bible as God's word
Two of Jesus’ most significant apostles (men who were personally trained and taught by Jesus) wrote the following:
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.”
Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16
“No prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit”
Peter in 2 Peter 1:20-21
3. We are committed to evangelism
Jesus’ final commanded to his followers was this:
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
4. We are committed to one another as God's family
