Our distinctives
Not all churches are the same. These are three of the emphases that might distinguish us from other local churches.
1. We’re an evangelical church
Which means that we’re committed to God’s word. What we believe and what we teach is governed by our understanding of the Bible. What God says in scripture shapes our church life, sets our agenda and drives our priorities.
And so we aim to help everyone understand what the Bible says. And so we make sure that our sermons are accessible to those who are completely new to Christian things as well as feeding those who are more familiar with God’s word.
2. We’re a missional church
Which means that we’re committed to God’s world. We don’t simply want to be a church that sends out missionaries across the world to the nations. We want also to send out missionaries across the street to our neighbourhoods.
And so we aim to be a church that shows holy and respectful love towards everyone in our community. And also to being devoted to doing whatever is good, especially in explaining the gospel of God’s love.
3. We’re a relational church
Which means that we’re committed to God’s people. Christianity is collective. It’s not meant to be a lone crusade. We need one another for encouragement, support and accountability.
And so we aim to be a church that love God’s people sacrificially by offering practical service to anyone among us in need; whether new mums needing meals, lonely or sick people needing a visit or the discouraged needing reassurance.
