Our Core Values
Dependent on God’s Grace
This will be seen in our worship, as we adore our gracious Triune God; in our teaching as the word of God’s grace will be at the centre of all we do; in our commitment to prayer; and in our welcome and compassion for outsiders. As those who know our own dependence upon God’s grace, we will be willing to admit our own helplessness, and offer grace to others. Our Lord Jesus welcomed and cared for little children, so we treat the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adullts as matter of great importance.
Interdependent in God’s Family
Western culture stresses independence, and equates maturity with self-sufficiency. In contrast, God adopts us into His family by grace, and we grow as Christians together because Christian maturity is never individualistic. It is always about the whole church together (Ephesians 4:10-16). Our interdependence is also expressed in giving and receiving hospitality and mutual discipleship
Local and centred in Brentford
We love Brentford and want to be involved in this place in Jesus’ name. We do not all live in Brentford, but we all seek to build relationships here, and also in the communities where God has put us by His providence. We hope, by God’s grace to be salt and light, pointing people here towards Christ Jesus.
Called to proclaim God’s word
Hearing and believing God’s good news message is what has changed our lives, so we long for the same for others. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). God’s word is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). So, we prayerfully and winsomely build relationships, but more than that, speak God’s life-changing word with our neighbours.
Called to support God’s global mission
We have the privilege of being part of what God is doing around the world. So we pray for, and give to, mission work.
