Mission Statement
Our vision for the years ahead
The five churches in the benefice have agreed the following vision to inspire and guide us over the coming years.
Agreed for 2026–30What we’ve agreed together
Faithful worship
Be faithful in worship as a church family, and aspire to be more dynamic, innovative and outgoing within our churches and communities, without losing our traditional values.
Safeguarding as a priority
Make safeguarding our priority in creating a safe environment for children, young people, vulnerable adults and all those in need of protection and support, through discussion, training and active recognition of need.
Fellowship and pastoral care
Move forward through fellowship, training, teaching and the development of pastoral care, making the best use of all the gifts and resources God has given us.
Christ’s reconciliation
Bring Christ’s reconciliation, blessings and message to every part of our existing and growing communities through the witness of our daily lives and the warmth of our support for others, especially those who are suffering, lonely or lost.
A warm and inclusive benefice
Be a warm, friendly, welcoming and inclusive benefice of churches for all individuals, all with a common purpose: growing our spiritual lives to walk together in the light of Jesus.
