As we continue to look toward the future, we need to ensure our mission, values, and ethos clearly outline our purpose, role in the Kingdom of God and way of living. In addition, we should be able to express these easily to the people we meet.
To faithfully follow Jesus and make Him known in our community.
In God's strength, we will be united by a deepening faith and knowledge of Christ. We will be a multicultural, multigenerational church, committed to sharing the love and message of Jesus with those who don’t know Him as Saviour, across our community.
As we carry out our mission, we are guided by values that form the foundation for our efforts. They define the life of the church and must be evident in all we do.
We are dependent on prayer. (Psalm 25:4-5) All our works are steeped in prayer. We are committed to our neighbours, people with whom God brings us into contact in our day-to-day lives. (Matthew 22:34-40) We want to be known for our service to those across our town.
We are grounded in the Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Everything we are, is based on what we learn from the Bible. We are inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit. (Philippians 4:13) We seek the guidance and strength of the Holy Spirit in all we do.
We are generous in caring for others. (Galatians 6:10) We value, love, and serve those in the church and warmly welcome new people. We are culturally accessible. (James 2:1-5) non Christians coming to GSBC feel included and embraced.
The ethos of GSBC is the spirit and culture which drives and becomes our motivation for all our service and work; it is the reason why we do what we do. It is to work together to extend Jesus’ model of the Kingdom of God on earth by living out a lifestyle of love, truth, justice, mercy, and forgiveness, according to his teaching.
All our relationships, with each other and those whom we seek to serve are a demonstration of our ethos as they are rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ and in his love. In this way who we are and what we do, our activities, are an outworking of our faith; that our ‘doing’ derives directly from our ‘being.’
We are grateful to God for providing the building we use for our ministry. We wish to be wise stewards of this resource, and we will continually pray for God’s guidance on how best we should use the building for advancing His kingdom; whilst maintaining the church building and Manse. We will continue to priorities utilities that are sustainably produced, minimise the use of paper products, purchase fairtrade products and recycle. We believe that our vision can be achieved by continuing to focus on two ministry principles the need to grow and the need to reach out.
To continually grow spiritually as disciples in our walk with God, to be transformed through the Holy Spirit individually and as His church so the gifts and fruits of the Spirit we receive, are used to serve Jesus as his disciples.
To live out our faith with a mission focus which shares the good news, that eternal salvation comes only through belief in Jesus Christ. As we meet people and build relationships may our witness and actions reflect this truth and lead them to a relationship with and salvation through Jesus Christ.
