In response to all that has happened in 2020, and looking forward to 2021, our question is - how then shall we live?

The mission of the global church and God's calling on your life is clear - we are called to love our neighbour, seek justice for the oppressed and share the good news of hope and peace. We firmly believe that the purposes God has for us can be applied in whatever contexts we find ourselves in next. We can respond to his call on us to pursue relationship with one another, and with him.

Let's be expectant for the adventure of faith, lifelong realtionships and radical mission ahead of us.

We are better together.
