Our Values

Our values describe the kind of people we are becoming as we follow Jesus together. They guide our attitudes, relationships, and actions as we seek to reflect God’s heart in everything we do. Discover the ten values that shape our culture and community.

  • CHRIST‑CENTREDNESS (2 Cor 3:18) We seek to be a Christ‑centred people who are led by the Holy Spirit, engaged in God’s Word and actively following Jesus through prayer, teaching and discipleship.

  • POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS (1 Thess 3:12) We cultivate a welcoming, inclusive and unified faith community by engaging in meaningful and positive relationships with all those around us. We value participating in life groups as an avenue of doing this.

  • REACHING OUT TO OTHERS (1 Cor 9:19–23) We value our calling to love others as Christ loves us, through reaching out and actively engaging with those in our local and wider communities.

  • INSPIRING WORSHIP (Mk 12:30) We engage in corporate worship experiences that are God‑honouring, inspired by the Holy Spirit and that provide diverse pathways for worshippers to connect with God.

  • CELEBRATION & ENCOURAGEMENT (1 Thess 5:11) We practise a culture of celebration through individual and corporate commitment to encouragement, marking milestones and successes.

  • GENEROSITY (Phil 1:6) We embrace an attitude of generosity. This includes being discerning stewards and generous givers of our finances; extending hospitality; sharing our resources, time and talents within our own faith community, local communities and the global community.

  • MINISTRY (1 Cor 12:4–7) We believe that everyone has God‑given gifts and therefore encourage all believers to become involved in ministry, serving as God has shaped them. We seek to provide opportunities for all in our church to discover and develop their God‑given gifts.

  • ALL GENERATIONS (Ps 58:5–7) We value every generation and encourage the development of intergenerational relationships and worship. We do this by providing relevant activities and teaching that will help each generation know Christ, grow in Christ and serve in ministry, in a safe and inclusive environment.

  • LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (Tit 2:7–8) We champion leadership that demonstrates Christ‑like character, a servant heart, fairness and openness. We promote investing in and developing future leaders.

  • PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WIDER SALVATION ARMY (Matt 28:19–20; Matt 25:40) We value participation in community of the wider Salvation Army – a global salvation and holiness movement committed to saving souls, growing saints and serving suffering humanity.
