Q: Do I have to get involved?
A: As a newcomer we recognise the need to settle so there is no expectation for you to dive straight in. However, we firmly believe that the bible teaches all of us to be the body [an active part of God's church] so we will talk with you, provide oportunities and encourage you to share in the church if you setlle here.
Q: Why should I come?
A: Because God loves you! While we were living for ourselves and outside God’s perfect will (in sin), he chose to give us Jesus to die on a cross and pay the penalty for all sin, justifying our separation from God. Then Jesus, being dead and buried, rose from the tomb on the 3rd day to bring us new life. If we confess that Jesus is Lord with our mouths and believe in our hearts we are saved from our sin and given eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. You are loved by Jesus and you can find faith, hope and love in Him. You are not too far away or too bad to come to church, or to look for God, or to pray. Jesus has done it all; it has cost Him everything so that it would cost you nothing to receive grace. Come and find out more about Jesus, we will do our best to make you feel welcome and encourage you.
