The people of St. James
aim
to reach the community
with the gospel of Jesus Christ,
by being continuously renewed
by
the power of the Holy Spirit, through:
Local Church life that is welcoming, relational, accessible
for all generations
and
builds community and family life.
Worship that is passionate, intimate, joyful, inspiring,
culturally appropriate
and
enables encounter with God.
Leadership that acknowledges God’s calling, is visionary,
courageous, full of faith, collaborative and releasing church
members in to their God-given ministries.
Outreach that is strategic, holistic, inspired and empowered
by the Holy Spirit,
and
concerned for the poor.
Teaching and training that is bible-based, interesting,
thoughtful, relevant, appropriate
and is
applied to every area of life.
Discipleship that encourages prayerfulness, holiness,
integrity, generosity,
and
enables us to serve like Jesus.
Ministry that is inclusive, gift-orientated,
life-transforming
and
expresses God's love and power.
Theology that is Trinitarian and orthodox in doctrine and
morality,
founded
on the person and work of Jesus Christ and the coming of the Kingdom
of God.
We want to see as many Christians as possible alive with the joy of
knowing and worshipping Jesus Christ, and equipped to live out and
proclaim his kingdom in the love of God the Father and the power and
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
