Vision: 2008-2013
(what we want to be like in five years’ time)
We want to be a church that is growing numerically. God is passionately interested in people!
2 Peter 3.9, John 3.16, Mt 28.19.
For this growth, we will rely, not on transfer growth, but on reaching out to our networks and neighbourhoods, making life-long disciples of Jesus Christ.
We want to be a church that encourages people to grow in maturity; to express real integrity between what we profess and how we lead our lives. We want to develop communities of reality, security and wisdom in which people learn to disciple one another. We want to break down the invisible barriers between church life and everyday life so that our walk of faith will be real and relevant to the lives we lead. We want to allow the gospel to challenge our lifestyles within consumer culture and, in the power of the Spirit, to live adventurous lives of faith following Jesus.
James 1.2-8, Colossians 3.12-17, Romans 12.1-2, Mark 8.34-38
We believe God is calling us to do this by:-
1. Releasing Inwards/Outwards Communities
2. Re-discovering Reality and Relevance
3. Restoring our Gathered Church Identity
4. Renewing Mutual Discipleship
5. Refreshing our Openness to the Spirit
6. Redeveloping our Buildings
