We Dream of a Church . . .

Where people are truly loved, valued and accepted,
Where there is safety and security for people to try,
Where lives are rescued, restored and given hope,
Where God’s presence flourishes in the simple and non-religious,
Where fun and laughter are mixed with tears and mourning, expressed with sensitivity,
Where genuine priesthood and participation are nurtured and applauded.

Where God’s Kingdom is present in the lives of everyone and people
are equipped to demonstrate it wherever they are and go.
Where performance is replaced by reality and truth,
Where true community is experienced – all of the time.
Where judgment is left to God who is fair, just and true
and our place is to build, encourage, comfort and exhort with an attitude of grace.

Where lost and aimless people want to be, even if they are not sure why.
Where the place of leaders is to recognize what God is doing and saying
and to help provide an environment for everyone to respond and succeed.
Where it is acknowledged that victory can be overcoming trials and difficulties, whatever the outcome.
Where all are genuinely respected and treated as equal, celebrating our incredible status in God.
Where boundaries between streams and denominations blur to the extent that in every town and city
there is only one church.

We dream of a church where Jesus of the bible truly reigns as Kingand His followers are
dedicated to making Him the centre of their lives, hopes and dreams because . . .

Jesus is our Hope and the Anchor for our souls. He is our security and the firm base for
our lives to be built. . . Together
