## Purpose

We believe that the church is the community of God, the Body of Christ, real people who are evidence of His presence and God’s chosen agent to demonstrate His Kingdom in this world. We believe that true repentance and acceptance of Christ as Master is the core of our faith leading to Christ-centered character that is evident in actions. As a religious organisation we care for people, both members and non-members, in their spiritual and emotional needs. We also support people who are in physical need such as hardship, and during health issues. We provide Christian religious instruction and ministry to young people.
