The Group - OUR VISION OF CHURCH

We see a church with open doors and open arms. A church that follows its heart out onto the street, a church loving stubbornly, unconditionally and sacrificially. We see a church that cries unashamedly with the broken, celebrates goodness with total abandonment and searches for truth with utter daring. 

We see a church with it’s priorities in order, a church that seeks the heart of God and does nothing unless He’s at the centre. A church full of extravagant worshipers and hilarious givers. We see a church that forgives stubbornly and unconditionally… a church outrageous in its mercy.

We see a church that knows its bible, wears God’s armour and invests their gifts in God’s glory. A church that creates ripples in its community… where no one is off the invitation-list. We see a church which stirs things up and revels in transformation… of families, cities and yes, even nations. This is a Can-Do Church where prayer and action hold hands.  

We see a church that is knit together, but looking outwards. A church that carries good news like a jewel and shares it like breathing.

We see a church that sings their song for a greater cause, a church that stands for justice. A church fighting the darkness with ground-breaking new forms of worship. We see a church with its heart pounding and its walls bursting with young and old, desperate for the Holy Spirit.   

We see people so alive and shining for God that others see them and think: “I want that”. A worshipful church, an exciting church. A welcoming, safe church. A powerful church. A church seeking God’s own heart. A church making a difference – this is where we belong… Bookham Baptist Church
