What we Believe
We believe in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible, and sharing the great news about Jesus Christ.
As a Baptist Church we:
Seek to be a movement of Spirit-led communities
As those who have encountered the living Christ, to intentionally seek his will and
purpose for our local churches and every expression of our shared life (Gal. 5:22-25)
Feel like one team
Celebrating diversity; valuing, respecting and trusting each other as we work
together in partnerships – making sure everyone feels included and listened to (1
Cor. 12:24-27)
Embrace adventure
Being serious about discipleship, willing to take risks, pioneer and move out of the
comfort zone of familiar ways of doing things (Matt. 28:18-20)
Inspire others
With a generosity of spirit, energise and motivate people to be all that God created
them to be (Eph. 5:1-2)
Share a hunger for God’s coming kingdom
Nurturing a holy discontent that arises from our desire to give practical expression
to our vision of God’s purpose for creation – confronting evil, injustice and hypocrisy
and challenging worldly attitudes to power, wealth, status and security both within
and beyond our Baptist Union. (Matt. 6:9-10)
