Incarnation
God is present and active in all creation
In Jesus Christ, God stands alongside the poor and the rich, the helpless and the powerful, the disadvantaged and privileged, the oppressed and oppressor
- In our work with all kinds of people we embody the Spirit of God in our community
- We will develop places of welcome and fellowship for all people
- We aim to recognise the image of God in all people and express that in all that we do
Passion
In Jesus Christ, God gave himself wholly in love and service for all
Jesus welcomed and reached out to all kinds of people, particularly identifying with the marginalised, the oppressed, the lost and the poor.
- In everything that we do, people and relationships come first
- Wherever we can we will support those with whom Christ identifies
- Our passion is to give ourselves - in body, mind and spirit - for the wholeness of others
