OUR VALUES & STATEMENT OF BELIEF

Faith

We believe in one God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Our faith shapes how we live, relate, and love others.

Dating & Relationships

We believe dating is an intentional, prayerful process to discover compatibility for marriage, not a casual pursuit. We encourage honesty, clarity, and respect in all interactions.

Purity & Integrity

We believe physical intimacy is a gift reserved for marriage. We promote emotional, spiritual, and physical integrity in relationships. Our spaces are designed to foster genuine connection, not hookup culture.

Marriage

We believe marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church. We celebrate and support those seeking lifelong partnership within that biblical framework.

Community

We value kindness, inclusion, and grace. Everyone is welcome to participate, provided they respect our shared Christian values.
