Mission

We are invited to join in what we discern to be God's Mission. Understanding God's Mission comes out of our listening to God in prayer and reading the Scriptures. Joining with Christian churches around the world, we understand Five Marks of following God's Mission as follows:
  1. TELL  -  To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven
  2. TEACH  -  To teach, baptise and nurture new followers of Jesus Christ
  3. TEND  -  To respond to human need by loving service and care
  4. TRANSFORM  -  To seek to transform unjust structures of society
  5. TREASURE  -  To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth​

TELL


Bringing good news to a hurting world

給一個受傷的世界帶來好消息                

상처 받고 있는 세상에 복음을 가져오기
We TELL stories of Jesus in Worship. We also think about the things Jesus taught and talk about these in a range of other settings. We take opportunities to share faith in community spaces and with people who have expressed interest in hearing Christian perspectives.

We help children and adults to lead worship themselves, including telling stories of their faith experiences.
We celebrate key Christian festivals, linking these to Christian beliefs and share these celebrations in the wider community.
Picture

TEACH


We TEACH key Christian concepts: healing, hope, embodiment, saving grace, Kingdom of Heaven. We share Christian perspectives on shared beliefs with other religions and across cultures.

We aim for Biblical conversancy.  This is when people can engage with a rich diet of stories from the Bible, well-told, read, discussed and applied.
​
We aim to support people in their discoveries about spirituality and faith. We offer opportunities to explore the diverse beliefs within the Christian tradition. We learn about people from different backgrounds and heritages, seeking to be people of peace.
Picture

TEND


We TEND to human need. We encourage caring and sharing in practical and measurable ways. Sunday School to Seniors try to learn about the needs of others.

It is part of our shared mission to find out how to help support one another and the wider community.


​We intentionally meet those who ‘tend’ those in need. We find out how and why they do this work. We look for ways to support them.
Picture

TRANSFORM


We seek to be TRANSFORMED so we can help in the positive TRANSFORMATION of the world.
We remind each child and adult they can make a difference with their lives and their choices.


We dream of making a difference.
​
​We work for justice, peace and equality in practical ways.

We support the inclusion of the most marginalised and disadvantaged in our community. We know every person is a child of God!
Picture

TREASURE


We TREASURE God's beautiful creation and take responsibility for caring for it. We look hard at natural beauty, film it, paint it, sing it, sit amongst it, walk through it and worship in it.
​

We visit beautiful places and link with the idea of creation and the creator.
We look after the environment as an act of worship to the Creator God.
Picture

We can tell others about Jesus Christ and why he is important to Christians.
We can teach others about God and pass on the stories of the bible.
We can tend those in need and look after ourselves and others.
We can transform the world for one person and make a difference.
​We can treasure the world we live in and preserve it for others.
