OUR VISION & MISSION

LIVING + GROWING + SERVING + PROCLAIMING
IN CHRIST

Living

We recognise that we have a new life and identity in Christ; we therefore seek to live in Christ, becoming more and more the people God has created us to be.
​
"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him." Colossians 2:6 NRSV

Growing

Christian life is about growth and transformation as we grow together to become more like Christ.
​
"We must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love." Ephesians 4:15-16 NRSV

Serving

Christ lived a life of service and, in doing so, paved the way for us to serve. We seek to serve in Christ with the strength of his love.
​
"Whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”  Mark 10:44-45 NRSV

Proclaiming

We seek to proclaim the message of reconciliation, doing so in Christ so that our lives reflect the wonderful news.
​
"So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."
2 Corinthians 5:20 NRSV
