In the charity's own words

The church's mission statement is to "Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples". It seeks to achieve this through our morning services which are contemporary and engaging, with lively band-led worship, clear biblical teaching, and an informal family feel. We also enjoy good working and community relationships with other churches and various outreach ministries in the city.
