MISSION STATEMENT

So that Christ's healing grace

may reach a hurting world,

we are committed to seeing that all who seek are:

- welcomed into community;

- equipped with faith; and

- supported in finding and following  God's call on their lives.

What does "Life"

at Runnymede mean?

Our purpose as a church is not only for ourselves as a church body.  We are also called to make an impact on the world: to bring the world around us a little closer to the way of love and justice that God intends.

Life in Community: Our doors are open to all: everyone is welcome, no matter what their age, ability, gender, church background, belief, lifestyle or personal history.  We will try our best to include and welcome you!

Life in Christ: We come together as a church in order to grow in faith and knowledge of God -through worship, support, study and sharing of faith in small groups.  We will do everything we can to equip you with faith!

Life for the World: Every member of the church is a "minister", specially created by God and brought into our midst for a purpose. We will try to help you find that purpose and pursue it.!

Our hopes and expectations

of those who become part of our community

is that you will make it your daily task to

1                Welcome and reach out to all people in our community, irrespective of age, ability, gender, church background, lifestyle or personal history.

2          Strive to grow in your faith, taking advantage of the opportunities offered to you through the church.

3          Seek to discover how God calls you to serve in the world, and will take steps to fulfill that

calling, with the support of your brothers and sisters in Christ,
