Mission
Compassion for others and sharing the good news about Jesus are at the heart of our vision and values – and that commits us to mission.
And for us mission means action – using our time, money, gifts and skills to make a positive difference here and around the world.
We have a number of mission initiatives in our own locality – Mini’s, Alpha, Guest Sunday’s, Friday evening youth activities, and involvement in various local community activities. In addition we are involved in a number of partnerships and projects here in Edinburgh, around the UK, and in other parts of the world, notably in Kenya, Pakistan, and Rwanda.
Some of our partners are former members of our church community, and increasingly we are sending out teams of people to get hands-on experience of the projects we’re involved with, to learn, to share, to teach and to pray.
The links in the right hand side bar reveal where we are making a difference – and there are opportunities to get involved yourself, particularly with the Care Van & Shelter, the Hope weekends and our Community activities.

Help the Hungry 2012 (June 10-15)Last year we held our first Help the Hungry week.

Over 800 million people in our world are still hungry! And God’s call to us is this: ’Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen …. to share your food with the hungry …. and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood.’ Isaiah 58:6-7 READ MORE » Posted on 18 May 2012 |

Rwanda Mission Trip (March 2012)I had a very fruitful trip to Rwanda earlier this month. The purpose of it was two fold. To continue to build up relationships with the Pastors in the north of the country, and to plan for the summer team trip (in particular a two or three day conference we will have with the Pastors as part of this).
