We worship God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in a beautiful church set in a beautiful location near to the top of One Tree Hill. We worship God singing hymns and the poetry of the spoken words. We study the Bible so that we may deepen our faith and our understanding of God. We draw close to God when we celebrate Holy Communion together as we share in the bread and the wine. We pray that our faith may find true expression in how we live our lives.
