The following is an outline of the local vision for the Church as of Spring 2000. It is by no means complete, and may be subject to change. It's good for us to be aware of the direction in which we are going.
I. CHEDDAR VALLEY
The Church is
committed to reaching the valley whilst recognising the biblical necessity of
prayer, fellowship (breaking of bread), teaching, worship and evangelism for
each Christian involved in the Church.
The Church will be
structured around the Sunday Celebrations, Centre Groups, fellowship, prayer
times and teaching.
We also recognise the
need for Apostolic, Prophetic, Pastoral, Evangelistic, Teaching (Ephesians 4)
Ministry.
We have established a
Bible School (Nehemiah) in order to equip people for ministry (utilising
recognised Teaching Ministry). This will change in form this year.
2. MISSIONS &
PLANTING
Both these emphases
are fundamental to the vision. (see relevant section)
3. UNITY WITH OTHER
CHURCHES -THE WIDER MINISTRY
We already have
relationship with local church leaders and church leaders in the Bristol area.
John has a wider ministry that he wants to involve Church teams as appropriate.
