At the heart of the
congregation’s life and work is the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good
news that God loves us and accepts us through faith in him.
As the parish church, we
recognise and value our partnership in the gospel with other branches of
the Christian Church and this is reflected in the presence among us of
folk who would describe themselves first as Baptist or Free Church etc.
Our
Mission is:
“To grow as a worshipping, loving community, actively seeking to bring
others to Christ”
The first Christians were, like Jesus, Jews resident in Israel who
worshiped on occasion in the Temple in Jerusalem and weekly in local
synagogues. Temple worship was a ritual involving sacrifice,
occasionally including the sacrifice of animals in atonement for
sin, offered to Yahweh until Jesus became the final sacrificial
offering on Calvary. The New Testament includes many references to
Jesus visiting the Temple, the first time as an infant with his
parents.
