Our Vision

Our overall vision is encompassed in three statements:

To love God

To love each other

To love those who don’t know Christ

Our vision, as a church, for 2010 is all about growth and we’ve called captured it with the phrase “going for growth”.

What does that mean?

We believe the Holy Spirit has spoken to us through the description of the Church in 1 Corinthians 3:9 “...you are God’s field…”, a picture of growth, of maturing, of more and more fruitfulness.

We feel that God has highlighted two aspects of this image for us now at Roxeth:

To grow one by one – just as a field is made up of many individual plants all growing in their own way, we feel the Spirit seeks to grow us one by one in our faith, relationship and gifting with the Lord.

To grow as one – while a field is comprised of many individual plants it is a unity, a whole, it grows together. This is the other emphasis of our vision – that Roxeth grows as one, together in the Lord Jesus.

As a result our teaching will focus on growing as disciples, growing as a church, growing in our love for Him, growing in our gifting and calling.

Our church family life will concentrate on unity and developing mutual loving relationship within the church, on growing up into the fulness of God in Jesus. Growing into greater effectiveness and maturity as the Body of Christ here.

We are “God’s field”, looking to His Spirit to grow one by one and to grow as one so that we bear fruit for Him and look more and more like Jesus, the Lord.
