Mission

 

We believe that God has given us a vision to influence our town and other towns and villages in our county through building a dynamic, multi-generational Church which expresses the Christian faith in a relevant way.
We also believe across the world that God has a plan for His Church and that we can support this.
There is also a responsibility on the Church to play its part in looking after the poor and vulnerable, and speaking up for the oppressed.
If people are joining our Church they are not just choosing to attend on a Sunday, but are joining us on this great adventure.
These statements are the mission of our Church, and can be seen represented by artwork in the main hall of Barnabas Church Centre.
