What we believe
Not a list of rules. A few simple truths about the goodness of God that we keep coming back to.
God is absolutely good
God is good, all the time. His heart is always for us, and He works all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). “He is good; his love endures forever” (2 Chronicles 7:3).
God is not distant or disapproving. He celebrates us: “as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you” (Isaiah 62:5).
Christ is in all
“Christ is all, and is in all” (Colossians 3:11). God dwells within every person. The kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21), so the most important journey any of us will take is the inward one.
It is finished
When Jesus said “It is finished” (John 19:30), He revealed the heart of the Father: God loves all humanity and wants no one left out. Jesus showed us what God is really like, full of grace, compassion and welcome. Through Him, God is reconciling all things to Himself (Colossians 1:20).
Everyone is significant
There are no “little people.” Every person is precious and carries divine worth. “God does not show favoritism” (Romans 2:11). We celebrate diversity and honour the part each person plays in bringing heaven to earth wherever they are.
Nothing is impossible
“Nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains (Matthew 17:20). Because His Spirit lives in us, we expect to see the impossible become possible.
Love that heals, never torments
We reject the teaching of a punishing hell where God torments people forever.
Scripture says the Father disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6), and that He does it “for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness” (Hebrews 12:10). Discipline that never ends and never heals is not discipline at all. So we ask the simple question: how could a Father who loves His children sentence them to eternal torment?
For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
“God is love” (1 John 4:8), and “there is no fear in love… because fear has to do with punishment” (1 John 4:18). We believe God’s correction always aims at restoration, and that His love has the final word for every person.
Living it out
For us, belief shows up in how we treat people. We want to live from His love, aligned with His heart: honouring every person, doing our own heart work, and letting peace grow from the inside out.
