Vision
We are committed to welcome all people to our church and we place a high value on diversity and the uniqueness of the people and place we serve.
We aim to fulfil this through the following activities:
- Welcoming new members to our church and our faith through lively inclusive worship, enhanced lay leadership and active community connections
- Equipping all church members in their Christian discipleship through biblical teaching, junior and youth church and prayer ministry
- Developing the talents of church members to encourage greater levels of leadership and volunteering in church and community
- Addressing the needs of infants, children, young people and family wellbeing through our work with our parish school and the BabyTalk project
- Witness to the needs of elders locally, especially those living alone and suffering loneliness
- Working for community enhancement and social cohesion through social justice and advocacy campaigns focused upon local needs, while ensuring our Christian distinctiveness
- Improve our building’s capacity and our financial situation, and encourage greater community support
- To be a point of stability in a dynamic cultural situation, and to present the gospel anew to our generation
