VISION AND VALUES

Our mission

 (Our raison d'etre as a church)

We want to be a church of 'passionate DISCIPLES in loving COMMUNITY, living MISSIONALLY'

Our vision

(Where we're heading as a church)

An Expanding Family

We want to be a healthy, growing church that regularly sees people becoming followers of Jesus.

Thriving Life Groups

We want to see everyone in the church be a full and active part of a midweek Life Group.

Disciple-Making Disciples

We want to create a clear discipleship pathway to help people grow as followers of Jesus and to learn how to help others do the same.

Equipped to Serve

We want to continue developing the 'Hope Academy,' with a focus in three key areas: spiritual formation, ministry equipping and leadership development.

A New Home

We want to have a new home for the Hope family - a place to call our own: a landmark building that will be a place of worship, a base for ministry and a hub for the community.

Planting Churches

We want to facilitate the planting of many new churches in our region.

A Big Blue Bus

We want to continue developing the bus ministry as a mobile base for outreach in the town.

Supporting Missions

We want to support and resource the work of God in our nation and in other parts of the world.
