What we believe
The Holy Spirit gives every church member gifts for loving service to the church and humanity. These include faith, healing, prophecy, evangelism, teaching, leadership, reconciliation, compassion and generous service. Some are called to pastoral, evangelistic and teaching roles that equip members, build spiritual maturity and unity, and protect the church from false teaching.
Every member is gifted, needed and responsible to use God’s grace for the common good.
