We are a church on an adventure, inviting people into relationship with Jesus and seeking transformation in every part of life. That is our vision. Each year, we revisit this statement and set our focus for the year ahead. 

 This year, as things start to open up, we believe that God wants us to be a church which is contending for community and cultivating transformation​. Below you'll find summaries of these emphases and this year's vision talk in full for all the details.

Contending for Community

We want to be a family: A community where everyone is valued, supported and cared for; a community marked by depth and diversity. Community has been hard over the past two years, so as things open up we want to be intentional about community. We especially feel that God is calling us to:

• Relearn the art of being family in living rooms, kitchens and cafes​
• Push deeper into small groups, making sure that there is a space for everyone to find family and to grow with Jesus

Cultivating Transformation

We are to be a transformed community bringing transformation. This transformation is both on the individual level - we want to see everyone becoming more like Jesus - and on a wider societal level - we want to see our region transformed. With this in mind, we believe that God is asking us to:

• Cultivate compassion - things look pretty different to where they were before the pandemic, we want to see 2-3 new initiatives which serve our community start in the next 12 months
• Help people find purpose - each of us bringing transformation into the places we spend our lives
