We are an active, Bible-centred family-friendly church, serving the area in which we live in Deal. We are passionate about impacting our community with the love of Jesus.
Members of our congregation come from all kind of backgrounds, drawn by our desire to worship God and put the Bible into practice in our daily lives. Our style is relaxed, contemporary and real – a place where everyone can feel welcomed, loved and cared for.
There are lots of ways to connect with the church throughout the week; Sunday services, Tiny Toes toddler group on Mondays, Cafe Connect on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, mid-week life groups, Open Doors meal on Saturday evenings, plus other kids and youth-oriented activities. We would love you to join us for any of these. Just come along and say hello.

What we believe
1. We believe in one true and living God, the Holy Trinity, who from all eternity is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
2. We believe that the Triune God created all things out of nothing and proclaimed them to be good. He made mankind, male and female, in His image and likeness. Yet, through the sin of our first parents, sin and guilt has passed to us all, and human nature has been inherently corrupted.Therefore our only hope of salvation lies in repentance from sin and regeneration by God’s grace in Christ. Those who do not finally repent will face God’s eternal judgment.
3. We believe that God the Son has taken on true humanity and united it to Himself in the one person of the Lord Jesus Christ. For us and for our salvation he was born of the virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died an atoning death in our place to bear the penalty of our sins, rose triumphant from the dead the third day, ascended bodily to the Father’s right hand, and ever lives to make intercession for us. He will come again and establish His millennial reign upon earth.
4. We believe that through the finished work of Christ, believers are both justified by grace alone through faith alone and are being progressively sanctified.
5. We believe that the glorified and ascended Christ baptises believers in the Holy Spirit with signs following, empowering the church for its mission in the world.
6. We believe in the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit for the upbuilding, encouragement and consolation of the Church, which is the body of Christ.
7. We believe in the Sacraments of Baptism by immersion and of the Lord’s Supper.
8. We believe that the sixty-six books of the Holy Scriptures are inspired by God, without error, and carry His full authority.
9. We believe that the ascended Lord Jesus governs and guides His Church through gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, elders and deacons, for the unity, maturity, and growth of the church.
10. We believe that God’s saving grace is found only in Jesus and that we are called to persevere and abide in faith in Him.
11. We believe that Christ’s people are called to express their love through obedience to His commands, which includes the privilege and responsibility of bringing tithes and offerings to the Lord.

For all UK tax payers, we can claim back 25p tax for every £1 you donate, providing you will have paid that much tax by the end of the tax year. Gift Aid is a very efficient way to give, because if you give £40 the church can claim £10 from the Government so it means your gift is worth £50. If you are eligible it is well worth doing.
