Our Ministries
Biblical Foundations
We ground our ministries in Scripture’s teachings on love, compassion, discipleship, and service (Galatians 6:10, Matthew 28:19-20).
Encouraging members to live out their faith practically in community and outreach.
Community Impact
We seek to serve our community, demonstrating gospel love.
Encouraging involvement and prayer support from church members for these ministries.
Children's
Ministry
We treasure children as gifts from God, recognising they are born with a sinful nature and thus need the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We believe the gospel is the power of God unto salvation for all, including children (Romans 1:16).
Key Aspects of Our Children’s Ministry
1. Gospel-Centered: We proclaim the gospel to children, teaching them their need for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
2. Age-Appropriate Teaching: Lessons are crafted to communicate biblical truths clearly to children in ways suitable for their age and understanding.
3. Bible Storytelling and Application: We share stories of Scripture, pointing children to Christ and applying biblical truths to their lives.
4. Partnership with Parents: We emphasize parents are primary disciplers of their children; our ministry seeks to support and complement family efforts.
Our Beliefs Regarding Children and Salvation
- Depravity: We affirm children are born sinners (Psalm 51:5, Romans 3:23), needing regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
- Need for Conversion: Children must hear the gospel, repent of sin, and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation (Mark 1:15).
- God’s Sovereignty in Salvation: We believe God sovereignly saves whom He wills, including children (John 6:37).
Ministries Include
- Sunday School/Bible Classes: Age-group classes teaching Scripture and applying gospel truths.
- Children’s Church: On sundays children seat in church with their parents to listen to the preaching of God’s word .
