| Mission : |
Our task is to proclaim and explain the Christian faith and help people to become disciples of Jesus Christ. We do this by showing God's love in the way we care for one another and live our lives both as individuals and as a community.
|
| Worship : |
We are committed to offering worship which is attractive and joyful; warm and
inclusive, thoughtful and reflective; challenging and converting. We want our
worship to be full of wonder, love and praise. Our music draws upon the best of
traditional and contemporary forms. We value preaching which feeds God's people.
|
| Advocacy : |
We want to be a church which helps its members and friends to express what we
believe as Methodist Christians in an authentic, natural and loving way This
will allow space for honest doubt. Small groups (especially house groups) have
an important role to play in building confidence to do this.
|
| Friends of All : |
We want to be a friendly church where “all are welcome”; caring for children,
young people, parents and families whilst ensuring that people of every
generation, background and Christian belief are valued and involved.
|
| Generous Life : |
We want to be a church which recognises and celebrates what God is doing in our
lives and respond generously in the use of our time, our abilities and treasure.
We recognise that this will take many forms within and beyond the institution of
the church.

|
We acknowledge
that we have different and special gifts so sometimes we will need to be
released from doing something we are doing already to do something new or
different.
