What We BELIEVE

Our core values and doctrine

oUR

pURPOSE

Here’s our vision statement, which gives a pretty clear view of our purpose as a church.

​

To see our church honouring God through a vibrant and growing church family.

​

To be rooted in the Bible and in prayer, united in our love for God and our care for each other.

​

To be effective disciples of Jesus, with every member empowered by the Holy Spirit, discovering and using their spiritual gifts.

​

To see God’s kingdom expanding and flourishing in our neighbourhood and beyond.

​

To reach out to our community, providing help and support to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Network

While we have close links with the other churches in Enderby, as well as other churches in Leicester, we also see the need to belong to something bigger than ourselves.

​

We are part of the Ground Level Network of churches.

​

Ground Level is a network of nearly 100 churches coming together through regional and relational connections. Ground Level exists to equip, support and care for churches and ministries.

​

Ground Level is seeking to have a growing influence for good in our nation, affecting society in any positive way we can. We believe that the church is to be a prophetic voice that models Word and Spirit along with Relationship and Kingdom.

THE

TEAM

"Christian leadership has more to do with caring than anything else. The Bible word ‘pastor’ really means ‘shepherd’. Our church leaders, trustees, and Life Group leaders are very gifted and influential people who are deeply committed to helping and nurturing the people who are under their care."
