OUR CORE VALUES
 
 
We recognise that we are a gospel people called to be ...
 
 
A PROPHETIC COMMUNITY
 
Following Jesus in confronting evil, injustice and hypocrisy, and in challenging worldly concepts of power wealth, status and security.
 
 
AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY
 
Following Jesus in transcending barriers of gender, language,
race, class, age and culture, and in identifying with those who
are rejected, deprived and powerless.
 
 
A SACRIFICIAL COMMUNITY
 
Following Jesus in accepting vulnerability and the necessity
of sacrifice, and in seeking to reflect the generous, life-giving
nature of God.
 
 
A MISSIONAL COMMUNITY
 
Following Jesus in demonstrating in word and action God's
forgiving and healing love, and in calling and enabling people
to experience the love of God for themselves.
 
 
A WORSHIPPING COMMUNITY
 
Following Jesus in engaging in worship and prayer which
inspire and undergird all we are and do, and exploring
and expressing what it means to live together as the
people of God, obeying His word and following Christ
in the whole of daily life.
