Values are the foundational measures upon which an individual or organisation works to achieve it's goals.

In the context of the church, they spell out how we want to do things; what
qualities are important to us. They are the roots system of the church.
In common with many mission centric churches we recognise that changing our
structures, programmes or policies have little impact if our core values are
not similarly mission centric.

After prayer, discussion and consultation we crystalised our value statements
into six simple aspirations.

What matters to us is that we are a body of people in which:

• Jesus is at the centre
• Every member in in ministry
• Every member is maturing in Word and Spirit
• We are an authentic Christian community
• We multiply through mission
• We demonstrate the sacrificial love of Christ

These are further simplified to help us remember them!
