We need each other, the universe is an expanse of interconnected people, place and things there everything depends on each other. Everyone has needs and at times can only be met by intentional involvement of others.

CROSS-FERTILISATION

Beliefs & Values

Members must embrace declared statement of the Christian faith as set out in St. Luke 4:18-19 and the central truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ as stated in St. John 3:16.

Luke 4:18 - 19

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.”

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

We accept the Bible as the revealed Word of God: inspired, inerrant, and infallible. We therefore look to the Bible as our highest authority for principles governing doctrine, practice, organisation, and discipline.

In particular, we believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in the physical miracles He performed, in His atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory at His second coming.

That regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of sinful man. That sanctification by the blood of Jesus Christ is necessary for personal holiness.

In the ministry of the Holy Spirit by who’s indwelling we are able to live godly lives and have power for service.

In the ultimate unity of believers as prayed for by our Lord Jesus Christ in John, 17 in the sanctity of human life and are committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond, and the importance of strong, loving Christian families.
