VALUES
What are our "values"?
We believe that the mission of every church was given by Jesus, when He commissioned us to “go and make disciples.”
Our heart is that we become disciples who reproduce disciples - and see God’s kingdom transform not only our lives, but also the communities we live in.
Critical to achieving that and vital to the health of our church are our values, which we encourage, promote and seek to live out daily.
D
Determined Devotion To God
Putting God first in our lives, seeking to love and honour Him in all we do.
A
Activating Spiritual Disciplines
Taking Jesus as our example, we seek to put the spiritual disciples He used into practice, like prayer, the Word, Worship, Fellowship, Serving others and Giving our times and treasure to Him.
R
Relentlessly Loving People
Jesus summed up the whole of the law when He commanded us to love God and love others. He also said, by this shall men know that you are my disciples, that you love one another.
I
Increasing Generosity
We believe God has been abundant in His generosity to us and that in turn He wants us to live generous lives. We seek not just to be generous with our wealth and time – but that we would be increasingly generous year on year.
N
Naturally Innovative
God is the master creator and He made us in his image, with the capacity to create and be creative. We want to be innovative in creating a better future for ourselves, our families, our community and future generations.
G
Growing Compassion
Having compassion for others is closely aligned with our value of relentlessly loving people – we know that our faith must go beyond words and be put into action – actively showing kindness, caring, and a willingness to help others.
