Our Culture
In pursuing our vision we try to act in the following ways, both as individuals and corporately as the body of the church, to follow the example of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
-
Welcoming
We want to be a friendly and diverse church that welcomes everyone – wherever you’re at in your journey with God. (Luke 10:38)
-
Encouraging
We want to encourage people in their journey of following Jesus, (1 Thess 5:11) and be a church where people feel honoured and loved, (2 Corinthians 13:11)
-
Prayerful
Prayer is vital (Acts 2:42) it is a significant part of our relationship with God and as we pray for others (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer facilitated by the Holy Spirit leads to encounters with God that are life changing for us and others.
-
Full of Faith
God calls us to look to Him who can do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
-
Journeying with People
We were made to be in community and to share life together building friendships with our brothers and sisters in Christ. (Luke 24:15-30)
-
Serving
Giving ourselves to the Church to serve others and enjoy that there is life as we serve like Jesus did. (John 13:13-17 & 1 Peter 4:10)
-
Generous
God is an abundant and generous God and we want to reflect that in all that we do both individually and as a Church. (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
-
Have a Go and Grow
We want to be a church that releases and empowers people to have a go and grow (Acts 6: 3 – 7); to learn from our mistakes and not let them stop us trying new and different things.
