WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

As Christians, we believe that the Godhead exists in three persons; Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus died on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin; and the Holy Spirit convicts people of sin and the need to repent.

We also believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God and is relevant and applicable to people today; that salvation is a free gift of God and is through personal faith in Jesus Christ.
This belief shapes our attitudes and actions.

Here are some FAQ’s:

11And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts.
