Our Vision

We are a Word and Spirit church: grounded in the truth of the Bible and empowered by the Holy Spirit to know Christ, grow in faith, and go to the world.

We believe God speaks through his written Word, the Bible, and works through his Holy Spirit to transform lives, build the church, and empower believers to continue the mission Jesus gave his disciples.

1) Know Christ

We long to see people encounter Jesus Christ through faithful Bible teaching & in their personal devotional study, wholehearted worship, prayer, and lives shaped by the gospel.

2) Grow in Faith

We seek to grow mature disciples who love one another, serve faithfully, pursue holiness, and are equipped to follow Jesus in everyday life together.

3) Go to the World

We are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus in Swindon and beyond through evangelism, compassionate action, hospitality, and servant-hearted mission.

Our Values

• Jesus Christ is Lord. Who we are, what we say and what we do must exalt Him, not us.
  (1 Peter 3 v 15; Colossians 1 v 18) 
• The Bible is God’s word: Everything we believe and do should be governed by God’s truth and will, as revealed in His word.
  (2 Timothy 3 v 16) 
• Human beings, made in God’s image, have inherent and equal dignity and worth. Although damaged by sin, we are all objects of His love.
  (Genesis 1 v 27; 1 Timothy 2 v 3-4; John 3 v 16-17; 1 John 4 v 9-10) 
• We are brought into a personal relationship with God through the new birth, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit through the Word
  (John 3 v 3; Ephesians 2; Titus 3 v 4-7) 
• We are committed to one another in love and the grace of God is the basis of our fellowship. This grace should define every aspect of our lives.
  (1 Peter 4 v 8; 2 Timothy 2 v 1; Titus 2 v 11-14) 
• We recognise the need to meet together regularly for teaching, fellowship, communion and prayer that we may grow in our relationship with God and encourage one another.
  (Acts 2 v 42; Hebrews 10 v 24-25) 
• The Holy Spirit indwells and empowers every Christian for service using the gifts God has given – we must walk in step with the Spirit to ensure that we recognise, develop and use these gifts.
  (Galatians 5 v 16-26; Ephesians 4 v 7-16) 
• We exist as a local church in the community and function like a body – different people yet united, equal in value and working together for God.
  (1 Corinthians 12 v 27; Ephesians 4 v 15-16; 1 Peter 2 v 9)
