About us
Who we areWe are a community of believers in the western parts of Durban. We follow Jesus as He leads us through the Holy Spirit and the Bible, to the glory of God and in love towards our community. We want to put the truths of the Bible first in our expression of our faith as it is stated in the reformed confessions, Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and the Canon of Dordt. We evaluate our practices in order to stay relevant for our time and context.

What we believe and teachAs the visible body of Christ in the communities where we live, we take the whole Bible as our absolute foundation (Sola Scriptura). Our reconiliation with God is through Christ alone (Sola Christo) by grace alone (Sola Gratia) and through faith alone (Sola Fide).
God is the King of all things to whom all of man have rebelled in sin. It is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we are reconciled through faith in Christ to walk again with God. The love of Christ, through the work of the Holy spirit, changes our hearts. The love of God in us overflows in self-sacrificing love to others. Our love is not determined by their response but by the abundant love of Christ in us. Our relationships reflects Christian discipleship as a demonstration for others to duplicate. The Holy Spirit is the source which transforms us through growth in faith to become more like Jesus Christ. Everything on our lives should be focused to honour God as our only King. Thus making his Kingdom visible in and through our lives. |
