'Our vision is to to be a community of growing Disciples.'


Our vision is structured around our 'Shape'.

Shape

To be part of this growing community of disciples it is expected that everyone will regularly Gather in creative worship, be part of a Small Group in an accountable relationship and seek to Connect in the world in authentic relationships. We believe that some of these connections will be relationships of acceptance (Belong), some will be relationships of understanding (Believe) and some will be relationships of change (Behave). Believe-Belong-Behave then become three possible doorways for people to enter the world of the Christian faith.


Our vision is further developed by our 5 marks of discipleship:


A disciple will have these marks:

  1. Intentional Growth
