After some considerable time in prayer these are the values and the vision that we feel God is calling to.
THE VISION: What does God want us to be?
A ‘Safe’ Place:- • Birds of the air – come to rest (mustard seed parable) • Non-judgemental attitude
• Encounter the presence of God
• To explore, ask questions • To be real, honest • Space appropriate to each • Gracious culture
A ‘Transforming’ Place:- • People are changed, as they meet Jesus • Renewing of the mind – new world view (The Kingdom of God) • Continual transformation – i.e. journey • Hunger for change • Healing – body, mind and spirit (Acts 2:43-47) • Transforming society • Discipleship
A ‘Sending out’ Place:- • Outward looking culture • Every member ministry
• Encouragement/support • Accountability • Training/equipping • Whole life discipleship • The ministry of blessing
