Union Church Values
WORSHIP (Openness to God working in our lives)
We are a worshipping people. We seek to honour God and to experience his transforming presence as we gather together to encounter him. We want to share the renewing power of the Holy Spirit in an uncertain world. We are broad based and diverse in our worship using a variety of musical genres and service styles.
COMMUNITY (Being family and practising teamwork)
We are a community of God’s people. We are not primarily an institution or a collection of individual consumers, but a living, worshipping, committed family. We want to share our lives together, sacrificing our own needs and desires for the common good, being vulnerable and available to one another in the servant love of Christ. We desire to live out the unity of God in a fragmented world.
DISCIPLESHIP (Being teachable and learning together)
We are people who are growing in our relationship with God through prayer, in our understanding of his word and nature through teaching and community life, learning how we can become a prophetic people in his world. We make every effort to show the way, the truth and the life to a disorientated world. In order to keep growing we avoid both the shackles of fundamentalism and the sinking sands of liberalism, seeking to be thoughtfully evangelical.
MISSION & SERVICE (Putting others first)
We seek to be servants within the wider community and world, serving our neighbours in Jesus’ name with our homes, our money, our time and relationships. We want to bring the healing of God to a broken world and to win people for Jesus.
