Vision & values
St
Matthew's
is a community of
people seeking to know and love God, and to grow in this love and
knowledge through life's experiences.
We value acceptance and hospitality, and welcome all.
We believe Christian faith is relevant to
our daily lives. We seek to express it in creative ways and to
encourage others on their journey with God.
We
are a
family-friendly church with a variety of Sunday morning and midweek
groups for children and young people. We have a programme to enable
children to receive communion before confirmation.
We
are developing our vision as a church, focusing on
seven 'doors' that we would like to see opened further in our community
life:
- Welcome
- Mission
- Salvation
- Release
- Worship
- Prayer
- Discipleship
