Lead Minister

We are an independent Christian Church with a congregationally governed body called to promote the work of the church in the Spriit of Christ and thus advance His Kingdom. The purpose of this church is as revealed in the New Testament to win people to faith in Jesus Christ and commit them actively to the church, to help them grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ, that increasingly they many know and do His will, and to work for the unity of all Christians and with them engage in the common task of building the Kingdom of God.
