Our Values
Our three core values are explained below. Clearly it is difficult to distill our values into three words, as there are so many priorities we as a church embrace, including the importance of prayer, the centrality of worship and above all else being Christ Centered. That said, we think it’s important to try and distill our values as a church, to allow us to explain what’s important to us here at Donside, as we begin our journey as a church.
Everything we seek to do as a church is rooted in God’s word, the bible. We believe it reveals the truth about God, about mankind, how to live as God intended and provides a firm foundation for everything we face. You will see this reflected in our gatherings, where God’s word is central to everything we do.
In light of the bible’s clear description of God’s missional heart, most clearly demonstrated in sending His Only Son to save our lost and broken world (John 3:16) we are a church which exists to reach our community and the nations with the good news of the gospel.
God’s mission to this world is deeply relational, with Jesus Christ literally moving into this world (our neighbourhood!) and on his departure he sent the church to go and continue that relational mission. For this reason we seek to be a church which is relational in everything we do.
