The Vision? The following was part of Stuart Woodward's sermon on 4th September
The people of God knitted together by the Spirit demonstrating that all barriers come down in Jesus. We model Heaven’s values and know Heaven’s power so we are to grow in holiness and effectiveness, the society in which we are placed (and far beyond) being transformed by our presence. A people constantly filled with the Spirit and ministering in His power and gifting, committed to experiencing the glory of God in worship together, and our everyday living being a continuation of that worship. A people committed to the scriptures and founded on the timeless truths of God’s word. A people expecting the rainstorm of revival and preparing in terms of how we structure ourselves as a church to cope as best we can with discipling the influx. A church committed to enlarging the physical space for our gatherings so that this influx can be accommodated to a greater measure and, because 80% of our people come from within a mile and half radius, we look to do this first on our present site.’
