Our Aims as a Worship Community
Welcoming
Grounded in our belief in Christ, we open our doors to everyone –regulars, local community and visitors - offering a place of belonging and blessing and a chance to become part of something greater. Come and make yourself at home, this is your Father’s house!
Our next steps are to:· Take our welcome and message of faith out of the building and into the community.
Worshipping
Using language we all understand, curious or committed, old or young, all are part of our worship, enabled to join in and contribute as they are able and feel comfortable. Together we learn more about Him through Bible study, teaching and prayer.
Our next steps are to:
· Refresh and further develop our all age worship and our offer for children and families.
· Encourage more people to pray together with confidence and to lead our intercessions.
Serving
We are joyful people, committed to caring for our local community and the wider world and supporting those in need with compassion and care.
Our next steps are to:· Continue to bless our community through our pastoral care, special services, events and wider support.· -- Be at the heart of our local community as a visible witness for Christ
Growing
Living our faith openly, we share the Good News with generosity, gentleness and understanding. We are family, supporting each other as we continue to learn more and deepen our knowledge of God and scripture and inviting others to journey with us.
Our next steps are to:
· Work towards establishing house groups and new ways of exploring scripture and deepening our faith together.
· Develop our digital outreach whilst not forgetting those with limited/no internet access.
