THIS STATEMENT IS A GUIDE FOR OUR LIFE TOGETHER

It is outward focused, calling us to practice Christ’s love – wherever there is need, both locally and globally. It calls us to engage in risk taking mission. This is not a call to recklessness, but recognizes that there is always a cost to mission. We engage in mission without any guarantee and irrespective of return. We serve because there is need. It recognizes the growing diversity of the present congregation. There is room for people from every land and culture in this church. We welcome them as a blessing to us, and as a microcosm and sign of the reign of God. And as a Christian family, we worship God, and serve him, and it is our prayer, that we may do so with joy.
