About Us
The Present
The warm atmosphere of the church interior reflects the welcome any visitor will receive when joining the congregation for worship. Our services provide a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. A mid–week Bible Study as well as home based link groups offer further opportunities for spiritual growth and fellowship. A healing ministry serves the needs of the sick. A vigorous youth programme is sustained by uniformed and non–uniformed organisations. All other age groups are equally provided for including a cross–community dinner club. Our aim is to deepen our love for Christ and to share His love with others.
The Future
Our Vision is to know Christ and make Him known at every level of Parish life in worship and through our Church activities. Our Desire is to promote the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom as we seek, serve and follow Him in faithful and obedient service. Our Objective is to renew our faith through worship, discipleship training, evangelistic outreach as well as in the care and nurture of young and old alike. Our Concern is to offer whatever spiritual and material support is required in partnership with others to go into all the world and preach the Gospel” at home and overseas.
