We think of ourselves as a family of Christians; ordinary people who meet together to worship God. The members of our church are people of different ages and different backgrounds, forming a local family of Christian believers and belonging to God's great world-wide family.

The Bible and its teaching is at the heart of everything we hold dear, because it is through the Bible that God reveals himself to mankind.

Each of us has made five important discoveries:

• God had made us; loves us; and wants us to know Him.
• Jesus Christ is God's Son, through whom we come to know God as Father.
• The world has gone wrong and we, as human beings, need to be changed.
• The Lord Jesus Christ died for us and rose from death. He is alive for evermore.
• Through the Lord Jesus Christ we can be forgiven and find new life in Him.

 
We live in a sad world where so many die without God and without hope. Never has the message of the Bible been so needed. Because that message has transformed our lives, we want others to share God's good news with us. It is a wonderful thing to become children of the living God.
