Vision and Values
A - All Involved
We believe that it is the calling of every Christian to be fully involved in the ministry of the church. The level of our involvement will differ depending on our commitments, but God imparts special gifts to each and every one of us to be used within the body of Christ.
B - Becoming Disciples
We not only believe the bible to be the inspired Word of God, but we believe in its relevance for our lives today. This means that we value the importance of helping each other to apply its message specifically and practically. It also means that we see ourselves as life-long learners, willing to be discipled and taught till the day we die.
C - Creating Community
The 2 greatest commandments centre on love. We therefore value the importance of relationships, along with all the skills and attitudes we need to live a life of love. Our Clusters and Cells are living communities where caring and fellowship become a 7 day a week experience. We believe that every Christian has a responsibility in this area.
D - Doing Evangelism
We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is very good news to a broken world, and should therefore be shared and proclaimed in every way possible. Again, we understand that every Christian is called to do this, but in different ways and at different levels. Our Clusters are committed to building innumerable little bridges into people’s lives, creating the safest and simplest route for people on their journey into faith.
E - Encounteriing God
We are committed to providing every opportunity for each person to encounter God in a living and life-changing way. In doing this, we value both the importance of corporate worship and celebration, as well as the significance of meeting God in solitude and in small groups. |
