Purpose & Calling

We are a gather-scatter church.

We gather.

We don't believe Church is a building, but people. So we gather for worship and encouragement. We gather Sundays and midweek. We teach the Bible and pray for one another. We believe that Jesus moves among us when we do all this. He renews, restores and heals our hearts to empower us to live on mission.

We scatter.

And we scatter for mission. We have our sights set on city renewal and transformation. If Jesus is making things new, then we'll join Him as we see the Kingdom coming around us in all sorts of ways. We're involved in schools, neighbourhoods, and workplaces to shine love and light. We believe we are called to be the hands of Jesus to a world in need.

"As you come to him, the Living Stone... you also, like living stones, are built into a spiritual house."

1 Peter 2:4-5a
