What We Are About
We are committed to organizing this church to provide the answers to the following three questions:
I. YOU ARE HERE FOR CHANGE... RIGHT? OK... WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT LEADS TO CHANGE?
The Good News of Jesus Christ is at the centre of everything we plan to do. This gospel provides the context to all our ambitions, providing solutions to our intellectual, emotional and psychological needs. We identify with the following statements attributed to D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, pastor/theologian and author of The Heart of the Gospel (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway, 1991), 165–66:
·In the gospel I find intellectual rest and an answer to all my questions.
·I find complete satisfaction in Christ… There is no desire, there is nothing that my heart can crave for - but He can more than satisfy. ·So I am given rest in spite of my circumstances.
II. CONSIDER THIS... HOW CAN YOU KNOW THIS GOOD NEWS?
We believe in the existence of the Truth (John 8:32). We believe that the primary
need of 21st century people is to consider its implication. Thus, we are committed to expositional teaching or unpacking of God's word, in the historical evangelical reformation and Free Church tradition. So what is this truth-- this good news-- just what is a Christian?.
III. SO WHAT... HOW DOES THIS TRUTH CHANGE YOU?
A new Power takes hold when our thinking changes. We become aware of a new perspective, a whole new value system. It is not enough for us merely to be conscious of the Truth. For us to do the truth, this consciousness must involve an intinsity that we call conviction.
God created humanity to recognize Him as God (we say to 'glorify Him') (I Co. 6:20, 10:31) and enjoy Him forever (Ps. 16:5). This we call worship. Worship is the result of a deep abiding and experiential knowledge of God. Evangelism (sharing the truth) and Missions (sending people to share the truth) exist because worship doesn't. All we do will be aimed at recruiting by the gospel and equipping people by discipleship for this purpose of worshiping God, leading to their happiness, joy and contentment --in glorifying God.
We value expository preaching, the rich heritage of the protestant evangelical and reformed faith along with Biblical Eldership supporting true Biblical community. We invite you to pursue this website, especially the Pastor's welcomeand the links under "Who are we?" above. We have prepared everything purposefully and hope you'll contact us with any questions.
