Mission and Vision
"Make Jesus known and build up the church in faith and love"
As
a church family our aim is to "Make Jesus known and build up the church
in faith and love". To help us to do this we have adopted the following
core values:
Prayer
We
believe that God works when his people pray to him. When we pray we
acknowledge that God, our heavenly Father, is the one who is in charge
and that we need his help as we seek to grow and tell others about
Jesus.
Bible
The way God works is through his word (the
Bible). God brings people to trust in Jesus as they hear about him from
the Bible. God builds his people up in faith and love through the
teaching of the Bible.
Gospel
The gospel message
should set our agenda. As Christian people there is much we can and
should be doing, but our agenda should always be set by the good news of
the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Christian Growth
We
believe that every Christian should be growing in their faith. One of
the main ways that this happens is by meeting together to hear God's
word taught.
Service
We all have gifts to be used
for the common good. A key part of being part of a church family is how
we can use what gift's or abilities we have to serve others. This will
look differently for everyone but the key thing is to use them!
Children and Young People
Reaching
and teaching young people is a priority for us. We are fortunate to
have a healthy number of children in our different age groups. But we
would love to see more come to put their trust in Jesus.
Mission
We
support gospel work and we aim to send out gospel workers. There are
many people in our country and around the world who need to hear the
good news about Jesus Christ so we support a number of workers in this
country and abroad to do gospel work and equip others to do so.
Money
Our
money should follow our core values. Therefore we aim to support the
work of the local church and others who share our values.
