Who We Are
"And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind,
and all your strength..love your neighbour as yourself."
--Mark 12 : 30-31
Welcome to the Family
We are church that is inviting, life-building and caring.
We love Jesus. We worship Him as we try living rightly under Him. This is why we welcome everyone into our community so that we can learn about Jesus and His teachings together. We ask hard questions and encourage others to ask questions. We want all voices to be heard in the midst of a broken and hurting world. Jesus has transformed our lives and we know that He will transform yours too. None of us are perfect and we need each other as we navigate this life together.
There is a spot waiting for you at the table without any shame, without any judgement, this community is here for you wherever you are in life.
What We Believe
We firmly know that Faith alone in Christ is what saves us from the penalty brought by sin (death). Our works cannot accomplish salvation as only Christ has accomplished that in an act of mercy by dying on the cross and resurrecting from the grave three days later. We know that our sin nature means we deserve to go to Hell, however, Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross wipes away our sin and seals the salvation of those who have repented and confessed their faith in the truth of Jesus Christ. This is good news. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Luke 7:50, Romans 10:9-11, John 3:16-20).
​
We firmly know that Jesus Christ is the one true God of the Old and New Testament. We know that God has revealed himself to us in three specific persons containing of one, holy substance: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. (John 1:1-5 & John 5:19)
We know that Jesus shows hope and grace to those who need it most. (John 4:4-26)
We know that Jesus preaches truth and justice in the face of opposition and cultural opinion. (Psalm 146: 7-9, Matthew 8:1-4)
We know that Jesus wants to reach everyone regardless of their political positions, biases, upbringings and identities. Jesus wants everyone to live rightly and justly under his Lordship, however we know that many will hear the gospel and still rebel against it. Our hope is that we faithfully preach the gospel and Jesus brings lost people into His loving family with the help of the Holy Spirit working through us. (1 Corinthians 12:12-29, Matthew 7:13-23)
