Christ-centred
Being led by our Lord and Saviour through his word (the Bible); The Bible teaches all we need to know about Christian belief and behaviour so we want to get into, teach, apply and live out God’s word in today’s world, with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Contemporary
Being flexible and open to new ideas so as to connect with as many people as possible with the good news of Jesus – including we want our worship services to combine the best of the old and the new in a contemporary style.
Cosmopolitan
Having, accepting and involving a mixture of ages, races and backgrounds.
Coley-focused
The church is for all of Reading with our focus being on reaching out to Coley Park and we would like many of the church to be from Coley Park.
Committed
Being committed to the Lord and thus a vibrant church family that prays, witnesses, makes disciples & teaches God’s word, cares, serves, gives, supports mission, worships and relates to other gospel churches and Christian organisations.
In practical terms this means coming to Sunday worship, being part of a mid-week Small group and Serving within the life of the church
