Mission Statement

James declares that faith without deeds is worth little (James 2:14 ) Just as in worship, the love we feel for the Lord needs expressing in active worship, so also our love for Jesus spurs us to bless other communities outside the boundaries of the church.

As a church we are committed to giving away 35% of our income to both mission and general needs.

We see our mission vision expressing itself at three levels:

The Local Community: Every believer needs to be empowered by the Spirit to be a witness to those around them, (Acts 2:6). Apart from personal evangelism we run Alpha courses while Food Aid seeks to help those less fortunate in the area. These are just some examples of what we do.
Nationally: We look to support other churches and communities providing funding and support particularly to less well resourced areas. Each week we provide the Gift Box which is always targeted to needs outside our immediate church. These could include drug rehabilitation, pregnancy crisis, devastating issues of loss and bereavement that have occurred nationally, as well as many other Christian based projects in need.
Internationally: we support a number of overseas missions including an orphanage in Thailand called 'Kid's Life'. One of our members works full time at the orphanage and teams go out each summer to help. Individual members also support children at the orphanage as well as elsewhere in the world. Two of our members are currently based full time in Kenya, involved in a horticultural and medical initiative. We are also involved in Poland with a Bible College in Warsaw, a young church in the north at Kwidzyn and an inner city children's project and a homeless project in Bydgoszcz. Other vital support includes a project for the homeless in California. We are also pleased to support many short term mission trips to all parts of the world, many of them with our young people.
