Our Intentions and Our Values
Underpinning all we seek to be and do are relationships with key partners to ensure we respond to the mission statement.
We seek always to live out God’s purpose and mission to our community through worship, witness, and service.
We will be an inclusive place of welcome to all at all times. We will not just be “church” on a Sunday.
We will seek to be as Christ to the very young through the generations to the more mature.
We will be a place of learning, prayer and discernment and promote a life-long journey of development in faith.
We will value the past, rejoice in the present and embrace the new.
We will care for the community and the environment and be good stewards of the earth’s resources.
We will be flexible in our actions and thinking and grasp opportunities to serve and witness.
We will work whenever possible with others of great faith or none. We will celebrate partnerships in the gospel with all who seek peace.
We will step out in faith.
