OUR VALUES

Our values express the characteristics that we want to define everything we do. They describe the kind of people we want to become and our attitude towards others. They are key to shaping our practical witness. 

Worship: Our first duty and joy is to respond to the love of God and forgiveness of Christ by giving our lives to Him– above all, the distinguishing mark of our faith.
Growing: Expecting the message of Jesus to bear fruitful growth in every area.
Generosity: ‘Going the extra mile’; giving of our time, energy and money with thankful hearts, trusting that God will supply our needs.
Compassion: Being a welcoming community to both friend and stranger – not just to our church, but to our homes, lives and our faith.
Empowering: Aware of our need to be constantly filled with God’s power to do His mission; helping others discern and live out their calling.
Collaboration: Working in partnership with other churches and agencies to promote a town-wide expression of God’s Kingdom.
Creativity: Celebrating and giving prophetic voice to God’s presence in the world through the creative arts.
Authenticity: God can work through our vulnerability and weaknesses, without the need for ‘show’ or pretence.
