Our Mission: To know Jesus intimately, to grow in His love as a community, and to share the blessed hope of His coming with Reading and beyond.

Our core values

Here are the six core values that guide our church family:

Christ-Centred Faith

We place Jesus and the teachings of the Bible at the very centre of our lives, worship, and decision-making. Our faith is rooted in His grace and inspires everything we do as individuals and as a church family.

Joyful Worship

We celebrate God with passion and reverence, especially honouring the Sabbath as a gift of rest and connection. We value vibrant, Spirit-led worship that draws us closer to our Creator and to one another in fellowship.

Genuine community

We are committed to being an authentic, multicultural church family where everyone is welcome. We strive to create a safe space of belonging, offering genuine friendship, mutual support, and loving accountability for all.
