Our
Covenant: |
| Christ
Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (L.E.P.)
created and sponsored by four Christian denominations, |
| Anglican,
Baptist, Methodist and United Reformed Church |
| Our
aim is... |
| To
be... |
| a
community of people who
worship God, feed on His word, and listen to His voice, seeking
to live our lives in relationship with Him and with each
other. |
| and
to serve... |
| the
people of Creekmoor in the power
of God’s Spirit with Christ-like love in word and
deed, to proclaim
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to nurture people in faith and to be a witness to our unity in Christ. |
To
this end we affirm that... |
All
the people in the church are equal partners in the mission and ministry of
the church. We
value the heritage of worship from our four sponsoring denominations and
new forms of worship developing from the needs and experience of the local
congregation. The
role of the sponsoring churches is to encourage and enable growth (in
spiritual maturity and in numbers). This is achieved through prayer,
dialogue, shared reflection and support with provision of resources. |
