2. Opportunity will be sought through social action and evangelism to serve the under privileged, deprived, destitute, or those who feel rejected.
3. Provide a relevant approach to worship, using music drama and other means, of a high quality, essential for communicating effectively in today’s culture to enable Christians to encourage each other in their Faith
4. Strengthen the faith of Christians through sound biblical teaching, fellowship and prayer so that they feel able to stand for Christ.
5. Promote and encourage work amongst young people, recognising that they need to be nurtured, and respected: And to integrate them into an all age church.
