The Freedom You Long For
Pastoral Care
This Eastertide series aims to explore how each of us can be enslaved by habitual sins, destructive thoughts and crippling behavioural patterns, rather than living out the freedom Christ offers through His victory on the cross. We believe that God is inviting you and I into fuller healing, deeper intimacy and greater fruitfulness in our apprenticeship to Jesus Christ.
Here are some resources to aid you in navigating issues or pain that may surface as we go through this sermon series.

Rule of Life
Our Rule comprises daily and weekly habits designed to help us incorporate rhythms that can transform our frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbour.
Biblical Literacy
The practise of reading and studying the bible has become a lost art. As a generation, we are becoming illiterate when it comes to the narrative of God. Our desire is that the Spirit of God would stoke a fresh hunger in the hearts of our people to be diligent in knowing God - His story, will and intent through the scriptures.
