Our Church Vision - To Win, To Mend, To Train, To Send

As a church body we feel it is vitally important to have a vision for the future about where we believe God is leading us. Therefore after much prayer and discussion we have adopted our church vision, which can be summarised in the following ten points:

  1. Commitment - Members will be encouraged to be committed to Jesus Christ as Lord. This will lead to a desire to meet and work together with fellow believers.
  2. Preaching, Teaching and Exhortation - The Word of God shall occupy a substantial and vital place in our lives individually and corporately for it is our authoritative guide for living, is creative and healing in its effect and brings us to a place of growth and maturity in Christ.
  3. Corporate Worship and Praise - In our worship we will exalt and lift up the name of Jesus. We desire the Holy Spirit's presence releasing His gifts amongst us.
  4. A Praying Church - We will encourage every means of prayer in the Spirit and with the mind.
  5. Leadership - We believe in the five fold ministry of Ephesians 4:11-13. The elders will lead the church forward by God's grace.
  6. A Spirit-Filled Fellowship - Every member should be born-again and repent of all their sin. We will encourage baptism in both water and the Holy Spirit. Members will be discerning and functioning in their God given spiritual gifts.
  7. Personal Growth in Devotional Life - Every member will be encouraged to establish a solid foundation of personal Bible study and prayer and, by God's grace, live out the truths learnt in their life.
  8. Evangelism - Through the leading of the Holy Spirit we will endeavour to reach out into the local community showing God's love to our neighbours.
  9. Mission - It is our desire to support both prayerfully and financially, those whom God calls to serve Him both in the UK and overseas, as He directs us. This will include preparation and training for mission.
  10. Unity With the Wider Local Church - We shall seek to maintain fellowship with other local and regional apostolic ministries, pastors and churches, with a mutual respect for gifts and ministries.
Our church vision can be summed up in three statements
  • These Bones Shall Live!
  • What God is doing here cannot and will not be contained by the four walls of a building, because God is at work in us and we will go out of the door.
  • We are one together in Love.
