    • Mission

Commissioned by Christ and guided by His Spirit, we commit ourselves to wholehearted discipleship. With unwavering faith in the transformative power of the Gospel, we dedicate ourselves to actively participate in God’s mission in the world.

Our mission statement defines our present purpose and actions to achieve that future, focusing on the “how,”

- plans
- values statement
  • Word centered: how can we work this value out?
    • individual read and study
    • also part of a small group
    • test ideas against Bible
    • not introspective, (me)
    • could be word centered but have different interpretations
    • read it, love it, treasure it etc!!!
    • ways in for people who have little biblical knowledge

Potential for streams (collapsing house groups in? ) to teach on strands like ethical, bible etc
