There must be more to life…

Have you felt the growing sense that there has got to be something more?
The Bible says that God “planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]”.
If you’re done with going with the flow and want to know The Truth for yourself, we would be honoured to help you to discover God and get to know Him personally.

Lionel & Briga Rattenbury

Senior Pastors

There’s one thing we know for sure, that God transforms lives.
We know this to be true because He transformed our lives and it’s our desire to see Him transform others. We don’t pretend to have all the answers, but we are committed to pointing everyone towards the One who does.
That’s why we will only ever provide Holy Spirit-led, Bible-based teaching.
