Mission Statement
The Mission Statement of Bell Farm Christian Centre is as follows:
“Bell Farm Christian Centre exists to witness to God’s love as
revealed in his Son, Jesus Christ, and to serve our
community in His love and power”.
The church believes that God loves all people with a deep everlasting love and that as the people of God His church should express that love in word and deed. Therefore, all our works, services and activities are an expression of the love of God.
It is also the belief of the Church that all need to come to a personal faith and relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said that He had come to give abundant life and eternal life. It is the belief of the Church that no one can enjoy that life without coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Consequently, the Church exists to help bring people to a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, so that they might enjoy that abundant life.
It is hoped, therefore, that through all the work, activities and services of the Church that not only the love of God be expressed, but many people will come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
