Category: Vision Statement

Why plant a church? Because Jesus is still at work saving lost souls and we are called to be part of that work.

Ministers, elders and deacons are shepherds who lead, feed, and protect the sheep. Jesus is the Great Shepherd. He does these things perfectly. We cannot do them perfectly but with God’s help we have to do them. All church members are called to support their leaders and, indeed, to share in the work of the church.

Within the church, there will always be differences of opinion, personality clashes, wrong thoughts, words and actions and various tensions because, this side of eternity, we’re all still sinners. The question is, when this happens, how will we respond?

‘Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.’   (Ephesians 4:32)

Friends, the Holy Spirit has come to give you power to go and to be his witnesses, let us go in his power and in his strength to tell the good news of the gospel that many may come to know, love and enjoy God themselves.

The early church regularly came together to pray. That’s what the church does. What will you do with that fact? May we be a church committed to praying together.

What is the most practical thing you can do if you want to become a more loving person? Keep praying for a heart like Jesus’ heart!
