Our Response

I’ve met visitors to our church over the years who describe themselves as “church shoppers”.


One of my colleagues, when told this replies, “Well, I hope you find a bargain.”  That's what many are seeking.

Some people are genuinely looking for the place to which the Holy Spirit is calling them.  Others, in our self-affirming materialistic world, are making a consumer choice. They are looking for the greatest personal benefit, at the lowest personal cost.

Grace, the selfless unconditional love of God gives exactly that. The Christian life, however, is to embody that selfless, unconditional love for others.

Christ was born, and is born in us.

Our response is a genuine, redeemed life lived in a Christian community, where everyone contributes with equal joyful sacrifice, to sharing Christmas with the world.
