Gospel Living

Gospel Living pertains to living our everyday lives as an outflow of what Jesus, through His Spirit, has done and is doing in and through us. As a church, we aim to encourage and equip individuals and families to live out the gospel in our everyday lives. We aim to…

• Foster a personal relationship with God through His Word (the bible), prayer and being led by the Spirit. We want this relationship to permeate each person’s individual and family life.
• Foster spiritual, emotional and relational healing and growth.
• Foster joyful obedience to God in our everyday lives.
• Encourage and equip married couples to have marriages that reflect Christ and the church.
• Encourage and equip parents to parent with God’s wisdom and love.
• Encourage single people as they live out their faith.
• Model gospel living for our children and young people, and encourage and equip them to live out the gospel in their everyday lives.
