We ask all who desire to be members to both understand and integrate in their spiritual lives our agreed vision statement.
“To bring people to Jesus and MEMBERSHIP of His family, developing them in ‘Christ-like’ MATURITY and equipping them for their MINISTRY in the church, and life MISSION in the world in order to MAGNIFY God’s name.”
To facilitate this vision statement we want to be both a Word and Spirit church where equal important's is put upon both aspects of church life and our ministry starts in our local community and reaches to the global village - the world. Preaching is central to sustaining the life of the church but we also need to allow space for the Spirit to directly speak to the community.
We believe all Christians are truly charismatic - gifted by the grace of God - and need help both to detect and then develop their gifting for the edifying of the whole church. All regular adherents are urged to commit themselves to the community as church members.
We therefore reinforce this commitment at a yearly covenant service.
