LOVED
held in deep affection;
to be cherished
We believe that we are loved first and are then able to love others. Every person is loved, cherished and valued by God. The more we engage with this reality the more the love of God flows through us with integrity, so that the church and the community can experience the genuine love and affection of God through us. John 3:16, Romans 5:8, John 13:34-35, 1 Tim 2:3-4
We believe that as we enter a relationship with God through Jesus, we become His children and God shares His Kingdom with us. We receive from Him by His word and Spirit all the power, love and grace we need to thrive and live lives that are meaningful. The Christian life is learning to live fully with what we have received, so that we can effectively share with others what we have been given. Matt 10:8, Luke 12:32,
Eph 1:3, Col 1: 9-13

The central message of the Bible is that God has chosen to be involved in our lives; He created us, loves us and desires to connect with us. His involvement in our lives is what motivates our involvement in the lives of others, within the church and beyond it into the community. We take ownership together of what God is doing in and through the church. Gen 2:7, Ps 139:1-5, Josh 1:9, Matt 28:20, Rom 8:38-39
