KINGSWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH - Our vision and values
Mission Statement
Kingswood Baptist Church is a fellowship of Christians committed to being
and making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Vision
We seek to be an expression of the people of God in Basildon.
As such , we are committed to loving, serving and evangelising our
community. We are committed to bringing others to personal faith and
bringing them to church. Thus, we are committed to being a growing church.
We seek to honour the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to demonstrate his
love through the way in which we conduct our life together and the way that
we relate to those not yet part of the church.
We aim to respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to discern the particular
priorities that he has for us at any given time.

Values
We want to be a mission people: committed to spreading the GOOD NEWS of
Jesus' saving power to everyone - both near to home and across the world.

We want to be a baptist people: seeing believer's baptised in water, baptised in
the Holy Spirit, encouraged to live their lives in the power of the Holy Spirit
and learning to use their gifts to the benefit of the whole church body.

We want to be a grace people: enabling believer's to enjoy the grace of God,
freely receiving His love without condition or obligation and confident that
salvation is a gift that cannot be earned.

We want to be a bible people: committed to the bible as the revealed Word of
God. It is the basis for all that we teach and the guidance for our lives both
individually and together. We love it, honour it and teach it.

We want to be a Spirit led people: responding to the direction and prompting
of the Holy Spirit as he makes known the mind of God and ensuring that all
such perceived leading is in keeping with the teaching of the bible.

We want to be a family people: the church being an extended family that cares
for the needs of one another. Godly singleness and family life, marriage and
good parenting are highly valued, nurtured and protected.
