Vision & Value Statement

We believe in caring for the whole person

Mind, body, spirit and relationships. We seek to instil hope and sustain living, journeying with people through the problems and possibilities in their lives, nurturing healing and growth.

We believe in inclusive communities

Where everyone can belong and contribute. We seek to embrace diversity by kindling a spirit of fairness and openness that overcomes prejudice, builds understanding and promotes wellbeing.

We believe people can grow through crises

Finding resources to see and respond to painful situations in new ways. We seek to hear what is hurtful to people, inform them of healthy choices and support them in actions that enhance their wellbeing.

Our values respect everyone’s right to be heard, understood and cared for. Therefore, we embrace diversity, working with and for people from all beliefs, cultures and backgrounds:

  • Show compassion through respectful relationships that give competent care
  • Invite trust through active listening that seeks understanding
  • Instil hope by nurturing growth through the pain and possibilities in crises
  • Inform choices that increase safety, enhance wellness and sustain living
  • Empower people by enabling their ability to care for themselves and others
  • Build communities that show fairness, enhance resilience and promote belonging.

In our teaching we hold to faithfulness to the Word of God, recognising the need to present His message in ways which are relevant to our culture.

In our life as a church we hold to openness to the Holy Spirit, giving us direction in prayer and work, ministering to us and working through us to the wider community.

As a church family, we value a safe and accepting environment, because we know that every human being matters to God.

We value Biblical Diversity within our family, because we believe that diversity is part of Gods design for humanity.

At the same time we hold to spiritual growth as a necessary part of Christian life and so, through personal relationships in smaller cells we seek to bring challenge to people towards that growth.

In our leadership, we hold to the need for direction, accountability, mentoring, and above all servant hood.
