ST ERKENWALD'S

of a compassionate Church that reaches out to people transforming lives through the power and the love of Jesus Christ.

for networks, for relationships and friendships, in which the Good News of Messiah Jesus can be shared with the people who live locally; bringing them into a personal relationship with the living God.

of a loving and caring family who show a sense of each individual's value and worth, through who they are and not what they do, so we may all find hope for a meaningful and fulfilled life.

of a contemporary church centred on God's Word and re-presenting Christian culture and re-defining Christian worship for the 21st Century; engaging with God in renewed ways through New Wine Vision and Values that challenge the traditionally held views of Church. Taking Church out of the building and using our building creatively for Church.

of every member ministry, discovering God's purpose for our lives and our unique spiritual gifts and talents through S.H.A.P.E so we may serve enthusiastically, take risks and even make mistakes in sharing the load to fulfil God's mission.

is that, as followers of Jesus, we value authentic and uplifting fellowship, meeting each week in Church and in Small Groups during the week to learn from the Bible, to support each other, sharing our highs and lows, laughing and crying, forgiving, loving and praying for one another; growing in spiritual maturity to become like Jesus.

of a church building that is well deisgned, welcoming and warm, both flexible and comfortable to cater for the wide range of needs of the church and the wider community; acting as a sign of God's kingdom.

that of a healthy, vibrant, growing church in the year 2020 that is great to be part of.
