Ministry Values
We value intimacy with God - we see intimacy with God as a vital aspect
of our relationship with God and want this to mark
all that we do as a church.
We value caring relationships - we want to put love into practice by
being caring and sensitive to one another and to
everyone we come into contact with as a church.
We value leadership - we believe God gifts and appoints people to provide
faith filled leadership and vision to his church and
so we seek to encourage them and to follow them loyally and willingly.
We value grace - we want graciousness, forgiveness, generosity of spirit
and encouragement to mark all our relationships and
activities.
We value joy - we have much to celebrate as Christians and so we are
committed to joyfulness being one of our distinguishing
marks as a group of people.
We value perseverance - we realise that life and ministry is often
difficult and demanding and so we value stickability and
dependability.
We value wisdom - we see spiritual insight, forethought, careful
planning, and the skilful application of knowledge as vitally
important.
We value integrity - trustworthiness, honesty, holiness and loyalty
should mark everything we say and do.
We value servantheartedness - a willingness to happily do anything to
serve God and others, even at personal cost and
sacrifice, is something we wish to see in all involved in the church.
We value wholeheartedness - we believe enthusiasm and total commitment
should mark everything we do as servants of
Christ.
We value being contemporary - as we seek to live biblically and teach
biblically we will always endeavour to do so in ways
that connect with the culture and experience of the people we are serving and
reaching out to.
We value effectiveness - we believe that God wants us to achieve results
in our service for him and therefore we are committed
to flexibility, quality and doing all we can to see that every church activity
makes a positive difference.
