Mission Statement

“Taking light into dark places” Taking Jesus’ love into the world.

To act in accordance with Christian biblical principles, (and in particular Christ’s teaching to feed the hungry, provide for the thirsty, clothe the poor and look after the sick).
The belief that strong community arises from the development of positive inter-generational relationships and mutual respect, together with the establishment of recognised Christian values.
The belief that Jesus has the ability, perfect love and power to fill the gap that many people feel in their lives and yearn to have filled with something that is good, which instead they indulge with instant gratification from drugs etc.
The belief that the Bible calls on Christians to reach out to the world with the Gospel , and that souls are saved and lives are changed when Christians honour and respond to this call.
