Why we gather
We believe that gathering together in faith is an essential part of a healthy life and we encourage others to join us in this.
The coming together of believers is a glad and visible expression of its spiritual nature: believers are the called-out people of God, united by faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour.
We believe that Christianity is not individualistic, rather that it is a community of believers sharing in each other’s lives.
At their very core, church gatherings are not events held so that we can consume spiritual content. Church gatherings are an essential means of grace whereby believers worship and are equipped to live as God’s witness people in the world.
