The Parish Vision

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 -

1. In attending and supporting church services, events and fellowships.
2. In welcoming and being supportive to new people coming through our doors and in accepting them gladly into our church family.
3. In caring and showing care for all people across our community regardless of age, Christian knowledge or social background.
4. In supporting Christian values and evangelism across the parish, actively encouraging unity and synergy with the other local churches.
5. 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.
6. Letting both younger and older parishioners run things together, sharing and growing each other's gifts without being constrained by past practices and hierarchies.
7. 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.
