Our Vision
To lead God's people from spiritual immaturity to a life of abundance and to the fullness of spiritual maturity, where they can function as complete individuals in Christ. This involves understanding and embracing the new identity gained through faith in Christ after salvation, enabling them to speak and act with confidence as fully formed individuals. Nehemiah 2:17; Revelation 3:17.

Spread
To actively proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people, baptizing new believers and spreading the message of God's Kingdom locally and globally, in obedience to the great commission (Matthew 28:18).

Statement of Faith
The Trinity
The infinite and eternal and eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself in the three manifestation of the father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit; and the three are one God, (Mt 28፡ 19-20፣ 2Co 13፡ 14፣ Mt 3፡ 13-17)
Salvation of Man
salvation is received through repentance towards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This experience is also known as the “new birth” and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit, whereupon the believing sinner is regenerated, justified, and adopted into the family of God, and becomes a new creation in Christ Jesus and heir of eternal life, (Tit 2:11, 3:5-7, P 1:23, 1Jn 5:1)
The Bible
The bible is the inspired word of God and written by people inspired by the Holy Spirit and none may add thereto or take there from except at their peril, (Mt 5፡ 17- 18፣ 24፡35፣ Jn 4፡39፣ 2Ti 3፡16- 17፣ 2P 1፡ 19- 21)
The Gift of the Holy Spirit
The work that He did in the Old Testament and now doing in the New Testament of the Lords Spirit is still working and giving the gift of the Holy Spirit to believers as he pleases. We believe that these gifts are given for the benefit of the Church and the building of Churches, (1Co 12፡1-12፣ Eph 4፡11-13፣ Ro 12- 4-8)
