We are passionate about loving God and sharing the joy that Jesus brings. We are a bible believing, family orientated and contemporary church community.
We are committed to
- declaring Jesus Christ as Lord,
- sharing the good news that Jesus has come to save
- practically showing the love of Jesus to all.
