Church Membership
Our Church currently has 140 Members, plus 24 people who have requested to have a Pastoral Visitor and we have regular contact with over 1150 friends.
Between us we represent a wide range of Christian beliefs, drawn together by a desire to become more “Jesus-Shaped” and to learn from each other.
We are a congregation united by our mission statement:
Loving God, Loving People, Loving the World.
We are a growing Church Community and seek new Members to join us. We normally receive new Members during a Sunday morning service. Each Member is then assigned to one of our team of volunteer “Pastoral Visitors”. These links became especially important during the covid lockdown.
These are the questions to which you would be asked to respond at your reception into membership. Would you be able to answer “Yes” to these questions?
- Will you continue to commit yourself to the Christian life of worship and service, and to be open to the renewing power of God?
- Will you continue to seek the strength of God’s Spirit as you accept the cost of following Jesus Christ in your daily life?
- Will you continue to follow the commands of Jesus: to love God and to love your fellow men and women?
And the congregation will be asked:
- Members of the body of Christ, Will you so maintain the Church’s life of worship and service so that (this new member) and all of our church family may grow in grace and in the knowledge and love of God and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord?
If you would like to find out more and consider becoming a church member, contact Mervyn, Claire, Peter, our Lay Pastors
Since 2014, we have followed programmes of study based on the Jesus-Shaped People programme – as we seek for our church to be a “Spirit-Filled Church”. We are still pursuing this adventure…and continue to learn and grow in our faith.
