1. To support one another through individual pastoral
care in Christ.
All members should exercise their unique gifts given by God for the
fulfilment of particular functions in the life of the church. In ordering
the church life and its members' different gifts in obedience to God,
the church recognises that God always deals personally with people.
We should care for one another at all times in practical and spiritual
ways.
2. To assist all people, young and old, to enter into
a more faithful relationship with God through worship services.
Our activities in the Church will be for nothing if the Church is not
itself a worshipping community. We will place worship service at the
centre of all Congregational activities. We will endeavour to encourage
our youth and young families in and beyond our Congregation to join
our worship services.
3. To speak and act within the wider community.
The church is becoming marginalised in our society, losing its traditional
roles for the wider community. It must reaffirm the good and true, denounce
injustice and oppression and, with compassion, care for people in their
need. To this goal, our Church should work together with other local
Churches to serve the people beyond our Congregation and to bring a
Christian perspective to community issues.
4. To study the Bible and be prepared to proclaim the
Word.
The Bible has a special place as the source of challenge and nourishment
to Christians, as the main source of the church's preaching, and as
authority and guidance for living. All members are urged to study the
Bible and prayerfully meditate on the lectionary readings for the Sunday
worship service.
