Our Culture

GENUINE  GENEROUS    HOSPITABLE   COMMITTED

We are a church-community who identify, unify and are continuously growing in our relationship with King Jesus. Our identity is found and lived by in and through Jesus who is Life. Kingdom Life is the place where we, the church, come together to worship, fellowship, and grow in our faith as a family.

We are a community of believers who are genuine in our faith love and worship to God. We operate in a culture of generosity: generous in heart, gifting, resources and action. Being hospitable to God, family, friends and strangers is an essential part of us. As well as being committed to King Jesus, His Word, His Spirit, His Kingdom, His Gospel, His Cause and His Community of Believers.
