Loving the world

We seek to live for others - Good news people who reach out towards others with the love of Jesus. We value the work of compassion and justice and the invitation for all to be reconciled to God through Christ.

 

Our Beliefs and Practices

· In our beliefs: We affirm the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed, the heart of what Christians believe about the God revealed in Jesus who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as passed down to us through the authority of Scripture. (See here)

· In our life together: We are open to, and expectant of, a current experience and empowering of the Holy Spirit

· In our wider relationships: We seek to learn from and grow in unity with Christian brothers and sisters from across traditions and cultures.

We are part of a family of churches named Life Church International. LCI is largely relational and is shaped by the ethos of seeing church as family and church as united across many cultures.
