Growing as the family of GodA church isn’t just a place or a programme…
it’s people, a community or better still, a family that God has united to himself and each other in love through Jesus. So we want to grow as a family. We want to grow bigger in number We want more people to be united to God in love through Jesus We want to grow stronger in love We want to build deeper and stronger relationships with each other so we can love one another deeplythrough the ups and downs of life |
...love one another deeply...
1 Peter 1:22
Growing as followers of jesusJesus gave his life for ours and we’re called to give our lives to him,
following his ways and becoming like him So we want to grow as followers of Jesus. We want to grow in knowledge. We want to learn more about Jesus and his Word, the Bible. We want to grow in character. We want the Holy Spirit to shape us to be more like Jesus. |

Growing in prayer in the spiritSomeone once said…“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than
to be alive without breathing.” So we want to grow in prayer. We want to grow in dependence. We want to bring all our needs, anxieties and plans to God in prayer. We want to grow in commitment. We want to be a church that commits time and energy to prayer. We want to grow in passion. We want to have an increasing desire for prayer as we see God answer our prayers. |
...praying at all times in the Spirit...
Ephesians 6:18
going with the good news of jesusWe believe the Gospel is the best news anyone could ever hear
and we don't want to keep it to ourselves behind the doors of the church building. So we want to go with the good news of Jesus. We want to go to our community We want to live and love and serve in this community as good neighbours and good news tellers We want to go to the nations We want to support and pray for and take part in sharing Jesus with all people everywhere |
