The word of
God is our authority

teaching the Bible accurately and practically. The teachings of the Bible
determine how we act.

our dependence on God. God produces growth in us as we pray to
Him.

Every believer is
Useful and Needed : Ephesians 4:11-12 : Every believer is important and
has at least one spiritual gift, given by God, which they are to use to help

The Holy Spirit is Free to
produce Growth: 1 Corinthians 12-14: The Holy
Spirit helps people to understand the truth, as revealed in the Scriptures.
When the Spirit is allowed to work in people's lives, we can expect to see

The Display of Love, Support and
Fellowship : John 13:13:34-35 :
God is love, and His church is to be characterised and motivated by love.
Authentic love will flow from an understanding of what God has done for us
through the death of His Son. As God has freely and kindly treated us, so we
are to show our love to others in practical
ways.

'worth'. Corporate worship is to be meaningful, joyful, uplifting and thankful
to God, and be reflected in the life of the
church.

awareness of people who are less able to stand up and represent themselves. We
