Mission Statement
CHURCH AIM
As a church we have a clear vision and strategy: to “love the Lord Jesus, live by the Bible, encourage the Lord’s people and share the good news,” which means our aim is to be a community that reaches out with the gospel – the wonderful news that Jesus was sent by the Father to rescue sinners who deserve his condemnation.
- Love the Lord Jesus because loving Him (and by implication His Father also) we obey the first and greatest commandment. (Deut 6.5, John 21.15)
- Live by the Bible because to love the Lord will mean that we take His Word seriously. We cannot love Him if we treat His Word lightly. To love Him is to obey His commandments (John 14.15) because only through obeying them can we please Him, make Him glad, follow His will and live a godly life.
- Encourage the Lord’s people. Loving Jesus and living by the Bible will entail being committed to the Lord’s people, to cherish them, support them and do everything we can to help them to live for the Lord Jesus joyfully and whole heartedly.
Share the good news because the Lord’s people are entrusted with the best task of all – of announcing the good news to those who are strangers to it, so they too should be saved and become members of God’s family.
