Our Core Values
The Presence of God - Exodus 33:14, Hebrews 10:19, Psalms 16:11 & 140:13
In the Presence of God, truth and identity are revealed, safety is found,
healing and restoration unfold.

Community - Acts 2:42-47
We are a community committed to intentional relationships through
radical hospitality, unified in His extravagant love.

Truth - John 14:6, 16:3 & 17:17
We embrace biblical truth as embodied in the person, works and words of Jesus Christ.
We believe His truth is eternal, unchanging, knowable (discernable) and transformative; establishing us in freedom and abundant life.

Joy - Psalm 16:11
We embody joy as a deeply abiding gladness rooted in the presence and promises of God, transcending circumstances and radiating the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Beauty - Psalm 27:4
We behold God’s beauty as a reflection of His glory, seen in creation,
and revealed in His Kingdom and goodness.

Generosity - 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Generosity is our joyful response to God’s extravagant love, moving us to freely give of our time, resources and lives so all can flourish in the fullness of God’s goodness. 

Purposeful Adventure - Ephesians 2:10
We encourage the discovery of individuals' unique gifts and talents to fulfil their divine purpose through Kingdom adventures.
