Introduction The church is not a building or a place though these have their uses. The church is the people of God gathered together. It is a living thing - not a dead pile of bricks and mortar but a group striving to work in partnership with God.The members of the church embody the church (just as your hands, feet and head embody you). Without these different members, coming with all kinds of backgrounds, talents and gifts, there would be no church. We are not primarily concerned with numbers of church members, we believe our duty as members of Christ's church is to make disciples of Christ - followers of Christ. Everybody has something to offer Christ and his church, to begin with it may not be something big, but from a small seed grows a mighty tree. Thus will the kingdom of God grow. We are exploring how we can build a Church Without Walls - breaking out into the community so that we can share with people around us and learn from them also. This raises all sorts of new challenges and opportunities - never think that someone else will do this work, Christ needs us all. More information about Church Membership and other Opportunities within our Christian fellowship is available using the links to these pages.

| Introduction | ||
|
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. Romans 12: 4-8 |
