We Believe
As a church we believe:
in God the Father as creator and sustainer; Jesus Christ as saviour and friend, and the Spirit as the power of God present and active in the world. We believe in the truth and authority of God's Word in the Bible, and the saving grace of Christ our Lord.
As a church we seek to:
- Respond to the love and grace of God in worship, fellowship and service.
- Know Christ and make Christ known, both within our fellowship and within the community.
- Live out the love and teachings of Jesus both as a fellowship and as individuals.
Our vision is:
- For a warm, welcoming fellowship which respects and values everyone.
- To grow in faith and spirituality through worshipping, praying and learning together.
- To reach out into our local community with the message and love of Jesus.
- To provide pastorally for one another within our fellowship and beyond.
- To nurture and encourage the young and those new to the Christian faith.
- To seek and to follow God's direction for our church, though it may involve change.
- To work together wherever possible with other Christian churches in Verwood.
- To be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
