Beliefs

We are a purpose-driven church, meaning that every activity of ministry within this church is a direct application of the purpose. Our main concern is that people have an ongoing experience of conversion with Jesus. This will enable them to experience healing from all sin and to begin sharing the unique ministry God has given them.
