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 2009 focuses on becoming stronger as a church in order that we might more fruitful in the future.

It has a number of key elements:

It begins with the most important relationship we have, with God.
To deepen this relationship we will have a week of prayer in the spring when the church leadership will be available throughout the week so that personal prayer for individuals can take place.

Throughout the year, our preaching series will be focused upon strengthening the congregation in different aspects of their walk with God. Among the series will be a series on the vibrant life of the young and faithful church found in 1 Thessalonians. We will also have an extended set of talks on the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian, a series on the letter to the Colossians and and a number of talks on the life of the New Testament Church.

To nurture gifts and talents in the congregation, we will be introducing four new evening services this year called Springboard Services. Our aim is to encourage new preachers and teachers, new worship leaders, new welcomers and new prayer ministry members.

In the autumn, our cell groups and church congregation will be invited to strengthen their evangelistic muscles by joining together over four Wednesday evenings to do the “Friends for life” evangelism training course, which is focused on authentic friendship leading to authentic evangelism.

We are pleased to be venturing out into the community more this year. Along with our cell projects continuing in the local area, we will be having our Christmas carols by candlelight service at the Beacon Community Centre in December rather than at the church building.

We have much more happening this year which we pray will result in us being stronger in the Lord, and more ready to bear the spiritual fruit we pray He will bring here at Roxeth.
