Church Notices

As Christ's disciples:

We will continually strive to become just like Jesus, through prayer, the study of God?s word, and through radical obedience to him in all of life?s circumstances." (1 John 2:3 ? 6).

We will diligently work to grow and mature as Christ?s body as we serve him together with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. (John 15:12 ? 17).

We will eagerly go and make disciples of every nation on earth, until the full number of believers in the universal body of Christ is physically and spiritually reunited with Jesus Christ, our Living Head. (Matthew 28:18 ? 20).

Pastors and Elders available

Our Pastoral Team and Elders are available to visit any who would like prayer. If you have any difficulties in your spiritual life, marriage, family, medical or physical life, etc, please mention on a contact card or speak to a pastor or Elder. One or two pastors or Elders would love to support you and pray with you.
