Our vision

To be a Jesus-centered, Bible-believing and inclusive church.

A place of wholehearted worship that encourages people to grow in their life with God and to live supernatural lives naturally.

A visible, serving and generous church that wants to think bigger and make a difference nationally and internationally.

We believe

We believe that the Bible is the infallible word of God and the supreme authority in faith, doctrine, ethics and morals.

We believe in the Trinity; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became man and died for our sins and rose again from the grave! All people can be saved and have their sins forgiven. Salvation is given to us by grace and is received by faith.

We believe that the Holy Spirit lives in every believer and helps the believer in following Jesus. With the help of the Holy Spirit, both our character and our way of life are changed so that we become more and more like Jesus. Sanctification is an ongoing process, not of one's own achievement or power, but a result of the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual's life.

We profess a traditional evangelical Christianity, with personal faith in and following Jesus Christ. We live to know Him and make Him known. As a community of believers, we will build each other up in truth and love. We want to share with others the wonderful gospel that Jesus died for our sins and has opened the way to God. The preaching is based on the entire gospel, with faith in the Bible as God's word.

We believe that the Word of God and the love of Jesus can transform every person's life.

We also believe that everyone, young and old, can grow in their faith in God to spiritual maturity.

Baptism

We believe that baptism is a personal choice that is made after a person has come to faith. Baptism is a covenant of good conscience with God. The act of baptism is a confession of Jesus' death and resurrection, where the person who is baptized is immersed in water and rises to a new life. One buries the old life and is resurrected to a life of following Jesus. Since we believe that baptism is a personal choice that the individual makes, we practice adult baptism.

having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:12

Child blessing

All children have a unique and infinite value and it is a natural response as a community to pray for the children who are born. Since we believe that baptism is a personal choice, we do not practice infant baptism. We have a baby blessing in our church and most of the children are a few months old when they are blessed. The action takes place during one of the church services. Parents and children, with any siblings, come forward and are prayed for by a pastor and the congregation.

Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there. Matthew 19:13-15
