In light of our vision, we want to be a church which:
- helps others to find Christ and life in him
- proclaims the word of God and teaches Christ from the Scriptures
- trains and equips people to follow Christ and to love and serve others
- generously and compassionately helps the poor, marginalised, and persecuted
- loves God – Christ, his Father, and his Spirit – and loves others
Help others to find Christ.
We want to be a church which helps others to find Christ, by connecting with people in the community, sharing our lives with them, demonstrating the love of Christ to them, and telling them about him.
Proclaims Christ.
We want to be a church which proclaims Christ, the Word of God incarnate, not only by teaching Christ from the Scriptures, but also by fostering a community centred around and transformed by the Word.
Trains and equips its people to follow Christ.
We want to be a church which trains and equips its people to follow Christ: to treasure Christ and his gospel, to imitate him by loving and serving others, and to put aside any desire or deed unworthy of him or his kingdom.
Demonstrates generosity and compassion.
We want to be a church which strives to demonstrate to everyone the same generosity and compassion we ourselves were shown by God, with a special focus on the most vulnerable in the local community, and on their brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the world who are persecuted for their faith.
Loves God.
Most importantly, we want to be a church which loves Christ, and his Father, and his Spirit. From this platform of love and empowered by God himself, we are resourced and equipped to then love others.
