We will share the good news of Jesus with thousands of people and many will accept Him as Saviour. We will impact our entire community for Christ.

…a gift-based church where people discover their divine design, are trained and commissioned by leaders, and empowered by Holy Spirit to serve through their God-given spiritual gifts, passion and personality both outside and inside the church.
…a personal church hundreds of fully devoted followers of Jesus, individuals from every generation, race and gender, personally reconciling people to God through Christ in homes, neighbourhoods, schools, places of business and recreation.
…a new millennium church bringing ancient Biblical truth and eternal principles to each new generation using new technology, effective methods, changing strategies and relevant communication under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
