Our Core Values
Dealing Graciously - Let us be filled with God’s grace in ways we deal with each other, having a spirit of acceptance, respect and love for one another even when we are under duress. In this way, we as a church reflect the redemptive work of Christ. In all our ways, let us speak well of each other, seeking a mutually beneficial solution to all conflicts and always loving our brothers and sisters as Christ has loved us.
Developing Openness - Let us walk in the freedom to speak God’s truth and to present our views without fear or subterfuge. In the same way, let us value and respect each other’s freedom by carefully listening, valuing opinions and integrating differing thoughts. The church community should walk in openness and the leadership transparent in the way they communicate and serve.
Desiring Growth - Let us desire a capacity to grow in excellence; cultivating a positive learning attitude and have a healthy respect for constructive feedback. Mistakes or failures should not be treated as fatal or final. We bear in mind the redemptive work of Christ and His grace in our lives and seek to extend that to others.
Discipling Culture - Let us be disciples and be willing to disciple others; helping one another to grow in maturity in Christ, with no ‘putting of lids’ and wanting to see each other reach our fullest potential.
Distinctly Person-Centred - Let us take every opportunity to value each person in the church, whether a member or guest. We should have a genuine interest and concern for one another’s lives.
Displaying Servant Leadership – For those in leadership, let us lead by following Christ’s example of servant leadership.
Dedicated to a Balanced Spirituality - Let us be faithful and obedient students of the Word and be open to the person, work and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Let us display a prudent, wise and mature attitude towards spiritual matters, holding firmly to the basics in the context of Christian wisdom, love and community.
Delighting in Unity - Let us treasure unity; seeking to move forward together as one body subjugating personal preferences and views in Christian deference to the wider community of Christ.
Demonstrating Kingdom Centred-ness - Let us be church-based but not church- bound, always willing to share and give to the wider kingdom of the Lord.
