We believe that we’re on an exciting journey towards our vision as a church.That vision is to ‘Love the Lord our God with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength. And to love our neighbours as ourselves’ (the words of Jesus in Mark 12:28-31)We express this by aiming to grow Upwards (closer to God) Inwards (closer to one another) and Outwards (closer to our community).
One way of reminding us of this is to imagine (or eat!) a Toblerone. The bar points 3 ways –we call them Up, In and Out. But it’s also made up of individual pieces linked together and each of these pieces points the same three ways.
Wherever we’re starting from, we want everybody to be growing up, in and out –each person, the whole church, but also each different group within the church. The most important of these groups are our Growth Groups. |
