Put most simply, we long to be a growing community of disciples who live to the glory of God. This entails three particular concerns:- Mission : making disciples by reaching and teaching
- Maturity : growing up into full obedience to God
- Ministry : achieving these things as everyone plays their part
Mission
(1) to serve and share the gospel with our villages, Uckfield and beyond
(2) to develop a particular work amongst chldren, youth and families
Maturity
(3) to be devoted to Bible teaching in our corporate and personal lives
(4) to pray for God to deepen our faith, obedience and love
Ministry
(5) to recruit and train leaders who are fit to lead God's church
(6) to each give ourselves to working to these ends
Though not currently huge in number, we are committed to this vision and excited at what the Lord might do amongst us. So if you are interested in being involved, I'd be more than happy to chat these things through with you (01825 762192).
Our values are those of Acts 2:42-47
We hope to be churches where Jesus is truly central because all strive for the Bible to govern whatever they think and do; where prayer is truly fervent because all long for the Lord to extend and build up his kindgom; where joy is truly genuine because all really are thankful for everything God graciously gives; where love is truly displayed because all willingly make sacrifices to generously care and serve; where outreach is truly prioritised because all accept the need for everyone to hear about Jesus; where growth is truly radical because all so shine in holiness that many are attracted by them.
God desires these things for his church. These are therefore our values.
