Vision statement

The PCC has recently adopted a new Vision statement, expressing what we believe God is calling us to become over the next five years:

Jesus is calling us to become a church known in the community for open doors, acts of grace, Spirit-led worship and growing leaders

Our Vision
Open doors…
…where the doors of both the church and the soon-to-be refurbished hall
are open seven days a week, where people from all kinds of backgrounds
can find prayer, practical help and strength to follow Christ.

Acts of grace…
…where we delight to treat others with surprising acts of grace, as Jesus
treats us, and where people are accepted and welcomed whatever their
lifestyle, issues or problems.

Spirit-led worship……where our worship includes the best of the old and the best of the new, where creative arts reflect the creativity of the Spirit, where healing and prayer ministry are regularly available, and where everyone, young and old,
is encouraged to use their gifts to enhance our worship. Where everyone
listens to God and feels able to pass on whatever God may be saying to them.

Growing leaders…
…where we are constantly resourcing and growing our leaders, and
developing new leaders for ourselves and for the wider church at home and
for the church overseas; training and mentoring including both the local
ministry scheme and possibly through a young leader programme releasing
and equipping young people with a calling to lead.

Our Mission Action Plan sets this out in more detail and explores how we can put it into practice.  This was approved by the PCC in October 2010 and you can download a copy here.
