In essential beliefs - we have unity. "There is one body and one Spirit.one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all." Ephesians 4:4-6

In non-essential beliefs - we have liberty. "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." Romans 14:1,4,12,22

In all our beliefs - we show charity. [love] "If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains - but have no love, I amount to nothing at all.

WE ARE CALLED TO BE

 THE LIVING CHURCH

In an effort to maintain the simple approach which can easily be reproduced and passed on, we are using an easy to remember framework based on the letters
W O R D;

W orship
O utreach
R elationships (Fellowship)
D iscipleship

Under each of these headings we are looking, in light of Scripture, at areas such as worship, prayer, body ministry, Bible study, giving, decision making, the children, outreach, breaking bread and discipling then reaching common agreement about how best to implement each one in our own context.
