Our Beliefs
Our Vision
Growing Disciples Who Love Jesus
We are...​
ROOTED in God through His word, nourished by His Spirit
ESTABLISHED in God through faith, united in community
EMPOWERED by God through prayer, responding in worship
FRUITFUL for God in character and mission, branching outwards
Some of the things that we value include the centrality of Christ and the authority of the Bible. In all that we are and do, we seek to live under God’s authority, in keeping with the truths of Scripture as they have been interpreted and taught by the church throughout the centuries.
We also want to be open to those around us, regardless of their situation or beliefs, sharing with them the love of God and the life-changing Christian gospel, in the hope that they will eventually join us in our commitment to following Jesus.
In the way that we behave as a church, we want to be a community characterised by the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control (Galatians 5:22-28).
Our desire is to bring glory to God as the Holy Spirit makes us all more like Jesus.
Our Values
Mission
Local and Global
Our desire is to reach those in our local community to offer them the chance to hear the gospel. We do this hand-in-hand with providing vital practical support through ministries such as Christians Against Poverty, the Foodbank, the Greenhouse Café, Alpha Courses and much more!
We support a number of Christian organisations and people working both in the UK and overseas in countries such as Uganda, Bulgaria, Brazil, and South Africa. Through the regional groups, the church keeps in regular contact with these people, supports them in prayer and in some cases provides financial support.
As we are a Baptist Church, we hold to the Baptist Union of Scotland's Declaration of Principle and to their traditional understanding of marriage.
We also share the Evangelical Alliance's Basis of Faith.
