Our Vision
Our Vision
Relevant
Connected to the challenges of our culture and society and responsive to current and emerging stress.
Relational
Connected within our local churches and the surrounding community.
Reimagining
Connected to the Spirit’s leading, the new opportunities for our churches and communities, and the exciting ways God is leading us now and in the future.
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:15 (NRSV)
Our Mission
Community Focused
We will live out our convictions and, through our actions and advocacy, love our neighbours as ourselves; we learn to do justice, love, mercy, and, without fear or favour, be advocates by ‘speak[ing] up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute’ (Proverbs 31:8, NIV).
Networking Strategically
We will work collaboratively across departments, ministries, and local branches. Externally, we will partner and collaborate with other churches, charities, businesses, and agencies.
Theologically Sound Leadership
We want good leadership to be evident in every area of our Church. Therefore, we will equip ministers and lay leaders to manage their churches well, offer ongoing theological and practical leadership training to office holders and volunteers, and encourage young women and men to train for ordained and lay ministry.
Growing & Resourcing Healthy Churches
As Pentecostals, we will encourage the whole Church to develop the spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting, and encounters with God and the Holy Spirit. We will commit to discipling the whole Church – women, men, youth, and children – to nurture growth in faith, knowledge of God’s Word, and caring for each other’s well-being.
Our Values
Our values define us and embody what our members, communities, and other stakeholders experience and expect from their engagement with us. Therefore, we strive towards living our these values:
Our Statement of Faith
Equality of Men and Women
Full access for all abilities
Good Stewardship
Justice and Mercy
Valuing Contribution
Safe Nurturing of Children and Young People
These values underpin every aspect of our vision and mission.
