More than a place, a people living for Jesus

We are

A vibrant church who are passionate about jesus and cranbrook

We are a lively church community welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds from across Cranbrook and beyond. We gather to worship God and be transformed by his love at work in our lives.

We love helping people to draw closer to Jesus and invite the Holy Spirit to line up our lives with God’s teaching in the Bible and to work through us to bless others.

We live in a changing world, but are rooted in eternal truths, the teachings of the Bible.

Our church is more than a place, it's a people in every place living for Jesus. This is who we are.
