Who we are
We are a diverse bunch of Christians, but we share a dedication to follow the way set out for our lives by Almighty God and His son Jesus Christ. We are not a 'health and wealth' church - instead we have collectively known homelessness, extreme poverty, joblessness, divorce, childlessness, PTSD, alcohol and substance abuse, prison, racism, suicide of loved ones, depression, death threats and murder attempts, sickness, etc. But we have also personally experienced God's miraculous interventions in our lives, providing for us in times of deep need. We also know the release that comes from repentance and the forgiveness brought by the self-sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and we regularly sense the Holy Spirit with us.
