Vision
‘To know Christ and make Him known'
At St Paul's we are very excited about going into our community and sharing the gospel. Our mission can be expressed as four key activities and one over-arching purpose:
Gather. God is at work in our world to gather a people for himself by his Word and Spirit. We gather together to hear his voice, declare his praises and encourage one another. (Revelation 7:9-17, 1 Peter 2:4-10, Hebrews 10:19-25).
Grow. God’s will is for us to become more like the Lord Jesus, as individuals and as a body. Growth will be expressed in Christlike character and convictions. (Ephesians 4:1-16)
Give. Christians are called to follow in the footsteps of Jesus who gave himself for us on the cross. God challenges us to invest our time, talents and treasures in the service of Christ’s kingdom. (Mark 8:31-38, 2 Corinthians 8:1-14, 1 Peter 4:10-12)
Go. God’s people are sent into the world to be salt and light. This is expressed by working for justice, caring for God’s creation and sharing with others the good news of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 5:13-16, Colossians 4:2-6)
Glorify. We are made and saved for God’s glory, not our own comfort or reputation. All we do should reflect this priority. (1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1)
