During 2014 the whole church family took part in a discernment process, asking what God’s vision is for us as his church here in Bassingbourn. Our Vision Statement is 'Lives transformed through knowing Jesus'.
These words encapsulates what we believe is at the heart of what God is calling us to be and to do. We long to know Jesus better, to share his love with others and to see transformation in our own lives and the lives of those around us as we deepen our faith and grow in our discipleship. Our Vision is underpinned by three guiding principles. These incorporate the core areas of our life together: worship, discipleship and mission. Our worship... expresses our whole-hearted response to God’s extravagant love. We are committed to offering worship in a variety of styles, seeking to be open to the Holy Spirit and desiring to be transformed as we encounter God. Our discipleship… deepens our faith, increases our knowledge and transforms us to be the people Jesus calls us to be as we follow him. We prioritise clear biblical teaching for every stage of faith and provide support and encouragement outside of church services within small informal groups. Our mission… is to share the love of God in Jesus which we experience ourselves. We do this by prayer and practical support of God’s mission within and beyond the Parish. We are committed to seeing lives transformed through building relationships, encouraging spiritual awareness and being Christ’s ambassadors. |
