Our practice

Shaped by Scripture

We’ve been given a wonderful gift from God in the form of the Bible. By delving into scripture, we come to know God, understand more about ourselves, make sense of the world, and discover the mission that Jesus modelled and passed on to each of us.

Setting aside time each day to engage with the Bible is not about ticking a box. It is about connecting with truth that is bigger than our own perspective and anchoring our lives in God’s unfolding story.
