Our worship and music team brings a mix of contemporary and traditional choruses and hymns.  There is a focus for anointed, spirit-filled worship to lead people into the forgiving and healing presence of Almighty God, knowing Jesus came to earth to help all people find their way to life and health.

We believe…          

-       The Bible, God’s absolute and authoritative word, reveals God’s will and character so man can walk in a confident peace in knowing who God is. 

-       His love is real and personal and life changing, life empowering. God loves all people and His grace empowers them to be rescued from sin to live godly lives.

-       Jesus came to help man find his way to God and experience forgiveness and new life.

-       At salvation the Spirit of Jesus comes into the heart of man revealing God’s will giving man grace and truth to walk in the path of righteousness that pleases Father.

-       As man believes, he is changed by God’s Spirit and he is secured in the righteousness of Jesus Christ and His grace.      

-       Holy Spirit empowers the believer to live righteously and effectively giving witness to the truth of Jesus and His life changing power for all who will believe on Him.

-       God has prepared a place called heaven for all those who believe on His Son, Jesus Christ who gave His life on the cross to take the punishment for man’s sin.
