For we preach Christ crucified - St Paul, 1st Letter to the Christians in Corinth
Christianity is all about knowing the God who created us- about having him in our lives, and sharing in his. We believe that it is possible to know God and to enjoy him forever.
We believe that God wants Portland to flourish, and that he wants this to be an island where his love is known and shared by all. We believe that we can have hope in the future- now and after we die- rather than fear.
This is because we believe in Jesus Christ, as billions of other Christians have for the last two thousand years.
