Our Mission

TO TRAIN AND DEVELOP CHRIST-LIKE DISCIPLES IN THEIR GOD-GIVEN GIFTS AND CALLINGS

To reach out and impact our communities with the gospel power of Christ through outreach; taking Jesus outside the wall of the church

To develop ministries within the ministry, identifying, equipping and releasing people to effectively fulfil their calling

Church Planting: To establish model churches that preserve the integrity of the person and the works of Jesus Christ in our communities

Our Vision

TO MAKE CHRIST KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THROUGH THE MULTIPLICATION OF ACTION CHURCHES.

God

There is one God revealed to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with distinct attributes. To God alone do all creatures owe the highest reverence, love and obedience.

Jesus

Jesus Christ is the Son and is divinely appointed as mediator between God and man.
He died, was buried, arose on the third day, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God interceding for us.

Salvation

Regeneration is a change of heart by the Holy Spirit to a life of holiness, freely given by repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Fruitfulness

The continual practice of the spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, Bible Study, and worship) are necessary for Christian growth and fruitfulness.

The Word

The Bible is given by the inspiration of God and is the only sufficient, certain, and authoritative rule of all-saving knowledge, faith and obedience.

Baptism

Water baptism by immersion is an ordinance of the church, obligatory upon every believer. Infants and children may be dedicated to the Lord, but they will not be baptized by full immersion into water.

The Holy Spirit

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is vital for understanding the Word, for power to witness, and for spiritual fruit in the life of the believer.

The Local Church

Each believer must be committed to a local assembly for spiritual oversight, accountability, and participation.
