BAMFORD CHAPEL & NORDEN URC MISSION/VISION STATEMENT
OUR JESUS-SHAPED CHURCH IS…
Welcoming!
Jesus welcomed all who came to Him without judgment, and we aim to be an inclusive church, welcoming to all.
Developing Faith!
Jesus’ ministry was all about sharing the Gospel with others. As a church, we need to make sure we are deepening faith and making disciples, supporting individuals on their own faith journeys, and taking the Gospel and sharing our faith beyond the walls of our church.
Reaching Out!
Jesus reached out to everyone, and we must too: within our own church community, within our local community and beyond. We will serve God by serving others.
Caring!
Jesus said: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” It is essential that all that we do is done in love and that caring for others/serving others is at the heart of our church.
Prayerful!
As it did for Jesus, we will make sure that prayer underpins all that we do as a church, that we might serve the mission of God as He wills.
