We are a biblical church.

• Which is loyal in every particular to the revelation of God in Scripture,
• whose pastors expound Scripture with integrity and relevance, and so seek to present every member mature in Christ,
• Whose people love the Word of God, and adorn it with an obedient and Christ-like life,
• Which is preserved from all unbiblical emphases,
• Whose life manifests in the health and beauty of biblical balance.
   

We are a worshipping church 

• Whose people come together to meet God and worship him, 
• who know God is always in their midst and who bow down before him in great humility, 
• who regularly frequent the table of the Lord Jesus, to celebrate his mighty act of redemption on the cross, 
• who enrich the worship with their musical skills, 
• who believe in prayer and lay hold of God in prayer, 
• whose worship is expressed not in Sunday services and prayer gatherings but also in their homes, their weekday work and the common things of life.
   

We are a caring church

• Whose congregation is drawn from many races, nations, ages, and social backgrounds, and exhibits the unity and diversity of the family of God, 
• whose fellowship is warm and welcoming, and never marred by anger, selfishness, jealousy or pride, 
• whose members love one another with a pure heart fervently, forbearing one another, forgiving one another, and bearing one another’s burdens, 
• which offers friendship to the lonely, support to the weak, and acceptance to those who are despised and rejected by society, 
• whose love spills over to the world outside, attractive, infectious, irresistible, the love of God himself.
   

We are a serving church

• Which has seen Christ as the Servant and has heard his call to be a servant too, 
• which is delivered from self-interest, turned inside out, and giving itself selflessly to the service of others, 
• whose members obey Christ’s command to live in the world, to permeate secular society, to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, 
• whose people share the good news of Jesus simply, naturally and enthusiastically with their friends, 
• which diligently serves its own communities, residents and workers, families and single people, nationals and immigrants, old folk and little children, 
• which is alert to the changing needs of society, sensitive and flexible enough to keep adapting its programme to serve more usefully, 
• which has a global vision and is constantly challenging their young people to give their lives in service, and constantly sending its people out to serve.
   

We are an expectant church

• Whose members can never settle down in material affluence or comfort, because they remember that they are strangers and pilgrims on earth, 
• which is all the more faithful and active because it is waiting and looking for its Lord to return, 
• which keeps the flame of the Christian hope burning brightly in a dark, despairing world, 
• which on the day of Christ will not shrink from him in shame, but rise up joyfully to meet him.
