The purposes for which this fellowship was formed and is continuing are as follows:
1.
To maintain a centre of Christian life and influence in the community and to support
the fellowship of the Churches of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
2.
To develop a depth of spiritual knowledge and commitment within the fellowship and
proclaim clearly to those outside of the fellowship the love of God offered towards them and in
particular the need, truth and assurance of salvation.
3.
To do such things and to have and exercise such rights, privileges and powers
conferred by law upon a religious corporation or church as may from time to time seem good
to the Church Meeting under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
4.
While recognising the expedience and privilege of seeking the advice of other
Christian Churches and associating with them for mutual advantage and service to others, to
remain a free and autonomous body in matters of church governance and not to accept any
form of ecclesiastical constitution or authority other than that formed and accepted by the
Church Meeting under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
