Church life is never static or predictable. We firmly believe in 'the priesthood of all believers' which means that everyone in the church is a minister and needs to be involved in Kingdom and church activity. Our corporate life together is outward-facing, this involves working alongside Christian believers from other churches and traditions as we express the love and grace of God in practical ways.

WORSHIP is an important part of our life together. It is our desire and privilege to seek & experience the presence of God. When we come together as a body our hearts cry out for a deeper encounter with the one true God.
