Our Vision

We believe in Church growth! We believe a healthy Christian church should be a growing church.

We have a four - fold vision of growth for the church based on the growth of the first church in Acts chapter 2 vs 42 to 47.

When our Pastor, Jon Watts, began his ministry at the church in October 2003, he presented this four-fold vision for the church. He followed up this vision of growth by teaching how the early church grew and developed in the Books of Acts.

This is our Vision

  • GROWING UP IN MATURITY

  • GROWING TOGETHER IN COMMUNITY

  • GROWING OUT IN EVANGELISM AND MISSIONS

  • GROWING BIGGER IN NUMBERS

GROWING UP IN MATURITY

We believe as a church, we will be growing up in maturity as we get to know Jesus and learn more about our Lord and Saviour. We believe we will grow in maturity as we are filled with God's Spirit, as we study The Word of God - The Bible, as we devote ourselves to prayer, as we learn to live out our Christian faith in our daily lives.

GROWING TOGETHER IN COMMUNNITY

We believe as a church, we will be growing together in community as we spend time worshipping, learning, praying, caring, serving, witnessing together. We believe the church should be a community that is growing in fellowship, friendship, and fun! We believe that loving one another is commanded in the Bible and that caring and sharing together is vital to building a growing church.

GROWING OUT IN EVANGELISM AND MISSION

We believe as a church in the great commission given by Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations. We believe that God calls us to share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ with people of every nation, tribe and tongue whether they are our neighbours in Sheffield or in foreign lands. We believe the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. We are committed to growing out in evangelism and missions.

GROWING BIGGER IN NUMBERS

We believe in church growth. We believe as we follow, serve and obey Jesus that He will bring people to the church. We believe in a big God for whom nothing is impossible. We believe in Jesu's promise, 'I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it'. We believe that He wants the church to grow in numbers.
