"For you are all one in Christ" (Galatians 3:28)
Our Mission Statement
We believe that the most important thing is that Christ is preached (Philippians 1:18) for it is the gospel that bears fruit in our world (c/f Colossians 1:6). The message of Jesus is the way that God changes us and our world for the better.
Our mission is to preach Christ so that His people are saved, His people grow and His people are prepared for service.
All over this world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all it's truth. (Colossians 1:6)
