DORCHESTER COMMUNITY CHURCH
We are a Christian Church but are not a part of any particular denomination. We believe the Bible is God's Word for us today. "Celebrating and Sharing the Love of God" ~ We believe these seven words summarise what Jesus felt was the greatest commandment (Matthew 22: 37-39). and also what he shared with his followers by way of the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 18-20).

“The Contingency Reserve is held for financial prudence to enable sufficient funds to be available to pay staffing costs during any time when expenditure exceeds income. This reserve is maintained at a sum not less than half the annual expenditure on Staff Salaries.” — page 5
