Our Mission

WHY WE EXIST

To provide church life experiences to ensure that every member grows spiritually in action, word, and deed, so that we all speak the same thing and that we may be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10

Our Beliefs

We believe - the Bible to be the inspired Word of God, and our only infallible authority.

We believe - that we are commissioned by our Saviour to..."Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."  We want to witness effectively in Newport News, and to all parts of the world.

We believe - that the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible should have pre-eminence in the church, home and each person's life.  By doing this, there is a joyful, useful and victorious Christian testimony.

We believe - that the Lord Jesus Christ has left a legacy of joy to all who would commit their life to Him.  We believe in being joyful here on earth and through all eternity.
