It is our desire, as followers of Jesus, to be a growing and vibrant community of faith where searching hearts can draw closer to God through the fellowship of believers who seek to walk in the shadow of the cross. We intentionally strive to be a God centred, united and evangelistic community of faith.

Our God centred focus is considered to be top priority because it is only in Him and through Him that our lives can be changed or that our ministries can be successful. The longest prayer of Jesus was for the unity of His followers. We are convinced that without such unity our congregation cannot be healthy and our witness to a lost world will be impotent. Through the joy we have received in Christ and because God desires that all people be saved we pledge ourselves to be His ambassadors in a world of darkness.

We know we are moving toward these goals when spiritual growth is evident among our members, when believers are devoted to one another and when lost people are coming to Jesus for cleansing and healing.
