We want to be a church that honours all that Jesus has done on the cross, and each member of the congregation personally embracing this way of the cross that leads to the power of Jesus resurrection to set us free.

-allowing the natural and supernatural gifts to be applied by the congregation
We want to see every believer in our congregation applying each his/her natural reason and wisdom and skill as well as learning to operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit to ministering to others in love and power in the name of Jesus. 

- in demonstrating the now and not yet of the kingdom
We want to be a congregation that proclaims the good news of the Kingdom of God, and see the proclamation confirmed in miraculous signs and wonders, acknowledging and ministering grace, knowing that suffering as part of the life before Jesus’ return. 
-celebrating God’s transcendence and presence
We want to be a congregation that live lives that celebrate God’s awesome power, his transcendent majesty and sovereign work, at the same time experiencing God’s intimate presence in encountering him in heartfelt worship.
-all we found in word and spirit
We want to work with others who hold these values in open, in mutually accountable friendship, but also acknowledging differences; recognising that we derive all that we believe, teach and do from the bible God’s written word, but conscious that we are learning to hear and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us individually and collectively here and now.
