Our vision for the Parish of South Shoebury is to see our
churches and our congregations having an ever growing impact in the local
community and giving support to our parish, our local churches and to the
community.
We need to encourage greater and more profound commitment from
all our members -
- In attending and supporting church services, events and
fellowships.
- In welcoming and being supportive to new people coming
through our doors and in accepting them gladly into our church family.
- In caring and showing care for all people across our
community regardless of age, Christian knowledge or social background.
- In supporting Christian values and evangelism across the
parish, actively encouraging unity and synergy with the other local
churches.
- Working towards growth in numbers and commitment to Christ,
seeking to sustain such growth, looking forward to doubling our numbers in the
next five years.
- Letting both younger and older parishioners run things
together, sharing and growing each other's gifts without being constrained by
past practices and hierarchies.
- Reaching out to all generations, and then encouraging and
nurturing their growing faith in Christ, both in our own churches and in the
other local churches.
