This May we are working together as a church to understand and articulate our shared purpose, vision and values as a church.
Following on from our first forum together in community and listening to all that was shared, we have in community, come up with the current draft purpose statement: To grow in love for God and neighbours & help people in the Spirit’s power to follow and live like Jesus.
Below are the questions that we worked through as a community during our second forum. We invite you to reflect upon and discuss these questions as we look towards coming together with a shared vision for us as a community.
- When we are living out this purpose statement, what will it look like? (Your version)
- Are you playing it safe? Is there a bigger vision?
- How many of these things do you see in us right now? What is missing?
- What is standing in the way of us living out this purpose right now?
- Is the vision compelling enough that you are all in? How do we need to change? How do I need to change?
