Our Vision  

To bring people to Jesus and membership in His family, develop them into Christ-like maturity, equip them for their ministry inside and outside the church, in order to magnify God's name.  

 

To see ABC continuing to develop as a truly Relevant and Missional Church, taking Jesus to people through informal contact and outreach activities, but keeping institutional maintenance to an absolute minimum.

 

To do this we seek to:

  • Find ways to meet the needs of local people.
  •  
    Engage with the local community, its agencies and structures.
  • Joint-venture with other churches and Christian agencies in the promotion of the Gospel. 
  • Encourage the church into intimacy with God through prayer and the study of His word. 
  • Maintain the systems that monitor progress, and regularly examine our programs, structures and gatherings to ensure that they help us realise our vision.
  • Continue to provide a safe place where new and creative ideas can be safely tried and tested.
  • Allocate and delegate responsibilities so that the Leadership Team can concentrate on tomorrow rather than be consumed by today.
  • Emphasise function and accountability rather than status, avoiding the establishment of hierarchical structures which hinder progression.

Our Chapel
