Vision and Purpose Statement

Our vision is to see the community around us transformed by God through relationship with Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our purpose is to be and to do all we can to enable our vision to become reality. We therefore aim:

• To encounter God as we worship the risen Christ.


• To grow in our prayer life, individually and together, always giving thanks to God and learning to pray in accordance with His will as we seek His guidance in all things.


• To grow in community life through love and acceptance of each other, learning to be disciples of Christ through our relationships, our study of His Word, and our openness to the workings of His Spirit.


• To fulfil our mission to win the wider community for Christ through evangelism and social care.

In summary, we will seek continually to

glorify God
give ourselves to prayer
grow together as disciples
go and take the Good News to others in word and deed
