Our Values and Our Principles

Our identity is found in belonging to God.
Our values are rooted in our relationship with a triune God, as revealed in Scripture.

Love, compassion, grace, holiness and a passion for right relationships are the foundation of our commitment to be an authentic Christian community.

This authenticity becomes the light force that prioritises those marginalised by geography, poverty, social status, gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation, urban and rural living.  Those that have less opportunity to experience the reality of God’s Kingdom rule. Through authentic Christian community this Kingdom and God’s nature can be known.
