We know life can be hard to make sense of, so we come together to share the search for meaning.

We are here to learn and grow, so we offer encouragement and challenge, for the sake of personal and collective transformation. 

We need help to find our way in life so we connect with our ‘north star’, which some of us call God, through prayer and regular worship, which help to guide us in our daily living.

We value kindness so we are actively generous and considerate to everyone, especially when it is hardest to do so.

We know that everyone has different needs and preferences so we remember the ‘platinum rule’ and we strive to treat others as they would wish to be treated.

We know that we are human and we will surely make mistakes along the way, so we strive to show generosity to each other when things go awry, to recognise our own mis-steps, and seek repair and reconciliation.

We believe in being real with each other so we practice being honest about the reality of our lives instead of always putting on a brave face and ‘keeping up appearances’.

We value being part of a community, the social connection, the sense of belonging and being part of something bigger than ourselves, so we show respect, kindness and support for one another.

We value a sense of community, so we show up on a regular basis so we can be there for each other.

We want to be inclusive, so we regularly ask, ‘who’s not here?’ and take constructive action to demonstrate our commitment to inclusion.

We believe everybody has wisdom and insight to share, so we encourage each other to make creative contributions according to their talents.

We care about human suffering, so we speak up and get involved in campaigns for social justice.

We believe in LGBTQIA+ equality so we proudly celebrate diversity and speak up for equal rights, hosting inclusive events for all the queer community and supporting our trans siblings.  

We care about racial justice so we support anti-racist initiatives and strive to include ever-more diverse voices in our worship and learning.  

We believe in disability justice and inclusion so we are working to make our activities ever-more accessible to people with all manner of disabilities, neurodivergence, and health issues.

We’re concerned about the many threats to our environment so we speak up and get involved in campaigns on these issues.

We take our values seriously so we live by them, amongst ourselves, and in the wider world.

We know that it takes a lot of work to keep a congregation running, so we each play our part in the life of the church as best we can, offering our talents, sharing the load, and encouraging others.

We know that sustaining community requires our presence and commitment, so we show up for each other, and do what we can to help keep the show on the road, in order to ensure that the church is still here in years to come, for us, and for future generations.
