## Purpose

We are a family based fellowship of believers founded on the Word of God who believe everyone has a part to play in the church. We desire to live in the freedom that Jesus Christ offers. We are a self-governing church but are part of the Baptist Union of NZ. We believe that the church belongs to God, not to its members; therefore God has the right to do as He pleases with His church. We provide weekly religious services and Bible study groups. Our purposes are to: Meet regularly for worship, prayer, encouragement and fellowship; To engage in the task of mission in NZ and overseas; To express God's love to the community through ministries of the Word and practical care; In every way possible to make disciples of Jesus Christ and bring them into the Church.
