OUR Commitment
Our foremost leadership commitment is to be Holy Spirit led because we are well aware that unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labour in vain.
We believe that Christ is the head of the church and in His grace, God has given us different gifts to build up the church.
We want to be faithful stewards of the gift we have received, eager to serve and be examples to those entrusted to us.

This is how His kingdom advance and His will done on earth, as it is in heaven

SAFETY FIRST
Our leaders are committed to creating a safe environment for everyone (Acts 20:29-31) and to provide a safe place for all to build each other up in Christlikeness and work together to glorify God (Galatians 6:1-2).
SERVANT LEADERSHIP
Our leaders are committed to following Jesus' example (John 13:1-17), doing nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, to esteem and look upon and be concerned for the interests of others (Philippians 2:3-8).
