Christ our compass: then, now and always
We believe God desires all people to have healing, freedom, transformation and forgiveness.
Wherever there are injustices and hardship, we endeavour to bring the love of Jesus to transform our community, one life at a time. We are a Jesus-centred, Spirit-led group of people who are committed to loving God and others. We regularly witness the love of Jesus changing lives — from ones of despair — to lives filled with hope and a purpose. As a church, we meet together weekly and in small groups to celebrate this. We understand you might be finding it tough on your own and we want to come alongside you on your journey and help you to believe in good again.

“My house will be called a house of prayer for all people,” (Isaiah 56:7, NLV).
We believe prayer is an absolute necessity in the life of the church and is vital to seeing the Kingdom of God established in our community. Prayer is an awesome privilege, exciting and rewarding, so we encourage you to be a person of prayer.
