OUR CHURCH AND ITS LIFE:
We are not just a building but a gathering of people from many different backgrounds and experiences all with our own bits of brokenness and limitation with a strong sense of being made whole. It is a process of being healed and one that will only be complete when we pass through death to know God most completely in heaven.
Our worship is reverent with a healthy balance of the formal with the informal. Many who come here speak of how warm and friendly the people are without being suffocating or over demanding. It is a place where people can find refuge, where they can be accepted as they are and given opportunities to grow and develop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUSES FOR REJOICING:
A real commitment to Christian Study of the Healing Ministry and Bible Study Groups, continuing development of intelligent but accessible worship, the development of the Healing Ministry, ecumenical collaboration with Silver Road Baptist Church, developing connections with the local community.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUR STRENGTHS:
The life of worship, prayer and Bible study, warmth, friendliness, openness and flexibility.
