Our Values
We have five values that form the heart of what we believe about church.
Intimacy: We believe that at the heart of all we are and all we do is a genuine depth of relationship with God.
Involvement: We believe that the direct result of being in relationship with God is an active engagement in our local communities.
Inclusion: We believe that the church is not about deciding who should be in and who should be out, but, like Jesus, embracing all and serving all in their journey towards God, regardless of gender, age, physical and mental ability, sexuality, race and creed.
Influence: We believe that we must be a prophetic voice within society. Martin Luther King Jr said "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state." But our words only carry weight and bring light when they are confirmed by our deeds.
Interdependence: We have a practical commitment to supporting and working with the other member churches of the Oasischurch Network, through the giving and sharing of resources including finance, time and skills.
