introduction
On any journey there
are all sorts of twists and turns.
|
Wherever
we end up we can guarantee that it will be guided by
our core values.
These are
key to the fulfilling of our mission
statement and arriving at our destination. |
our
core values
worship
For a long time we have fondly thought of worship as songs
we sing in a Sunday service. Worship demands more of us;
it
is a lifestyle that reflects God’s heart and love.
The most mundane tasks we do can be worship to God when
we do
it in an attitude of service for him. Worship is more than
something we do, it is the motivation (an attitude) that
colours
our thoughts and directs our actions
service
We all have something we love doing, and can do well. As we
use our gifts and skills to help the local church grow and
develop, this is our service. The model of church Jesus left
us with was of a body of people who are willing to use their
gifts to serve each other and build community.
community
More than just a quick hello after a meeting with a cup of
tea in your hand and a list of people to see, fellowship takes
time and energy and is about building relationship with our
fellow brothers and sisters. It is the basis on which church
is formed and people are cared for. We can do nothing on our
own for very long.
outreach
God has asked us to do one simple thing: tell people how he
has changed our lives and that he can change theirs. He needs
us to get excited about sharing this life with our neighbours;
most people don’t realise the incredible benefits of
knowing Jesus, it’s up to us to show them.
maturity
The Christian life is a constant journey of growth. We need
to learn as we grow; to discuss and question ideas and
scriptures.
This is a part of discipleship. It gives us a firm foundation
on which we can build faith so that when we are tested
we
are sure of who we are in God. Accountability, biblical
teaching and the ability to think are essential!
