St Denys Church Mission Statement
Aims
and values
We
are an Anglican (Church of England) church seeking to work out in
practice
what it means to be a Christian church in a local community. We are a
growing
church of some 90 adults and 25 children. We believe as a
church we are
big enough to cope and small enough to care.
Our
purpose
We
exist to worship God and to join people together in love, educate them
in
God's ways and equip them to share their faith as they serve God and
honour him
everywhere they go.
Our
values
We
want to be ...
•
Inclusive
- where all are wanted and the imperfect are perfectly welcome
•
Teachable
- where everyone can continue to grow in faith
•
Helping
- where compassion and service to each other and to the
neighbourhood
are shown
•
Relaxed
- where stress is taken out of life rather than put into it
•
Available
- where people can be used by God to touch others with God's
love
•
Fun-loving
- where people laugh together and eat together
•
God-centred
- where people can have a real meeting with God
piritual
priorities
Our
worship services suit a wide range of people: some are lively and
informal,
some are formal and reflective. All are marked by good
biblical
preaching, praise and prayer. Testimony and prayer ministry also
feature from
time to time. Holy Communion is available every Sunday. The prayer
focus of the
parish is based upon a large number of prayer triplets and the
fortnightly cell
meetings.
Do come and see us. And pray for us and for the work of God in this
place.
St Denys Church is a part of the Diocese of Winchester.
