If God so loved
the world that He gave His one and only Son then our
vision must reflect His heart. If God's heart is for
people then so must ours be. People are to be at the
centre of our focus.
Pastor
and build up
We acknowledge that God calls us as believers to love
one another. This means all of us will have a concern
for peoples' physical, mental and emotional well being.
Our vision is for people to find unconditional acceptance
and respect based on Jesus' heart, that if you did
it to them you also did it to me.
Evangelise
and heal
We acknowledge that Jesus has given us a commission
to reach out and to preach the Gospel to those who
don't know Him and to do everything we can to both
share and demonstrate the Kingdom of God to them.
Our vision is to see people regularly being converted
and healed by the risen Jesus.
Organise
and involve
We acknowledge that Jesus organised and involved His
disciples in team ministry. Bearing in mind the picture
of the church as a body with everyone playing their
part and exercising their gifts. Our vision is for
everyone to be actively involved in the team ministry
of the church.
Pray
and worship
We acknowledge that the primary goal of God for our
lives is to worship Him. Our vision is to build a
community whose passion and desire is to worship God.
Learn
and change
We acknowledge that the God we worship is the God
of change and that he has committed Himself to change
us. Our vision is for a people to be part of His mission
and send people out to do this.
Equip
and enable
We acknowledge that Gods calls all of us to be involved.
Our vision is for a Church that is concerned for the
world, a church that equips and enables people to
be part of His mission and sends people out to do
this.
NB : In all of the above we recognise our dependence
upon and need of the presence and power of the Holy
Spirit.
