Faith in Action – in the UK
In 2005 "Open doors, Open hearts, Open minds" was adopted as our Mission Statement. It is intended both to express how we see ourselves now, as well as our aspirations for the future. Our practical outreach into the community at home and abroad seeks to express Christ's love for the world and we try always to be open to the challenge of new ways of service.
Our Mission Committee's function is to continually raise awareness of mission issues locally, nationally and internationally. Ten per cent of money received from collections, stewardship and covenant income is given for such work each year. A number of specific events and services relating to mission are organised by the Mission Committee, which maintains the vestibule notice board, Prayer and Other Information folders in church. Once a year the committee members put on a mission supper with a speaker to which everyone is welcome.
