“Growing a community of people who love God and love others by cultivating deep roots and wide branches, and bearing much fruit.”
Six Core Values
What we do may change with the times, but our core values remain constant. They underpin everything we do. They act as the soil from which the trees of the orchard grow. If the soil is good, the trees of the orchard will be able to grow deep roots and wide branches.

Declaration of Principle
"That our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, is the sole and absolute authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and that each church has liberty, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to interpret and administer His laws.
That Christian baptism is the immersion in water into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, of those who have professed repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who ‘died for our sins according to the Scriptures; was buried, and rose again on the third day.
"That it is the duty of every disciple to bear personal witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to take part in the evangelisation of the world.”
