About Us
Our vision...
We are committed to being a church for everyone, whatever age, gender, or nationality. We want people to be able to encounter Jesus in worship and desire to follow him in their lives.
We are a church community for the community of White City; a church community that enhances life for all both in White City and globally, regardless of their faith. We
are a place where people can belong and make friends. We are growing in numbers and in our relationship with God. We have five main purposes to our life together.
We aim to be...
Worship-Centred
We aim to keep worship at the centre of everything we do. Through the celebration of Jesus' death and resurrection in Holy Communion we seek to draw closer to
our Father God through the power of his Holy Spirit.
Friendly
We are a church where everyone is welcome: and we enjoy time with our friends old and new. We spend time together over coffee after the service, at occasional shared meals, and sometimes go on trips or retreats.
Growing
We believe that, like children, the children of God are supposed to grow and change. We provide opportunities for our members to know God more through bible study, prayer, and giving. We provide a Sunday school during worship for children, and give opportunities for adults and children to prepare for confirmation.
Community-minded
We are very blessed to have a hall which is available to many different community groups. We also seek to build links with other groups in our community so that we can work together for the good of all in White City.
Our community concern extends beyond White City, as we support work with local homeless charities, national organisations such as the Children’s Society and overseas through Christian Aid and the church in Brazil.
Good News
St Francis is quoted as saying:
‘Preach the gospel whenever you can. Use words if you have to.’
I think we do have to use words eventually; the gospel is about doing our best to build the kingdom of God wherever we are, but it’s also a message. We aim to be a place where that good news is available and understandable to all. One of the ways in which we do this is through our Alpha course.
