How do we do things here?
Â
Lots of churches believe pretty much the same things ... so why do they feel so different?
Â
That question points you towards 'Values'.Â
If your 'Purpose' tells you 'Why' you exist, then your 'Values' describe 'How' you intend to behave.
Â
What does it feel like to be part of the church here? Well, we know what we want it to be like, and it goes something like this:
Â
- Relying on God's Word and the Holy Spirit's power.
Â
- Simple, Transparent, Pure.
Â
- Accepting, Compassionate, Generous
Â
- Family: Healthy relationships
Â
- Releasing people
Â
- Wholehearted and fun!
Â
These few words have been thrashed through and boiled down from a much larger list expressed in a more wordy way ... if you want to know what they mean in practice, we'd be happy to talk them through with you.
Â
We are inspired by the church described in Acts 2:42-47. This is what we are aiming for ... and to be part of the church here means that you are prepared to belong to a group of people who intend to become increasingly like this.
