Vision

We adopt the vision of  AOG UK which is…
 
“Give every man, woman and child the opportunity of understanding the gospel and to provide a church where they can grow in ministry for the glory of God.”

Strategy

In order to fulfill this Vision, we will make it a priority to…
Reach out to those in our spheres of influence  and in the places that God sends us, bringing God’s light, love and forgiveness into the circumstances of their life.
Establish individuals in fellowship with God and His church through the use of the Bible and appropriate ministry.
Multiply the Kingdom of God by developing the character of Christ within us, using the gifts the Holy the Spirit gives us, and loving the person before us.

What we believe: Our Statement of Faith

God: We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

The Bible: We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our every day lives.

Sin: We believe that all have sinned, and sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

Jesus: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.

Salvation:We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

Baptism: We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.

Gifting: We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfil our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.

Healing: We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

Eternity: We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Return: We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
