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:
- TELL - To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven
- TEACH - To teach, baptise and nurture new followers of Jesus Christ
- TEND - To respond to human need by loving service and care
- TRANSFORM - To seek to transform unjust structures of society
- TREASURE - To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth
We have a number of active Mission Teams at the moment (new team members welcome) and are in the process of recruiting and growing more:
