Who are we?

We are a group of people living in and near Midleton who follow Jesus Christ. Out of our love for Jesus, we seek to honour him in our lives by studying the Bible together, loving one another, praying for one another, supporting one another, and meeting together regularly to give him worship and thanks for the Good News that he brought to the world.

What is the Good News?

The Good News of Christianity is that through his Son Jesus Christ, God has made a way for us to be forgiven of all our sins and brought into a loving relationship with him. This is all because of the salvation that Jesus has accomplished for us by his sinless life, his atoning death on the cross, and his resurrection from the dead. This Good News is summed up in John’s Gospel, Chapter 3 and verse 16: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Find out more…
