The Beacon Values
As a church, we have 4 main values - to be a W.A.R.M. light as we seek to be God’s bright beacon on the estate and beyond.
Worship-Filled – A community committed to praise God through charismatic worship and grounded in prayer. Encouraging us to pick up and put on the garment of Praise God has given us (Isaiah 61)
Authentic – We want to be honest about who we are and why we are here. To represent Jesus to those we encounter and not shy away from bringing him into our relationships and encounters. To be oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3)
Relational – To live our lives alongside each other. Journeying with each other and supporting each other in our faith, evangelism and life. Offering love, forgiveness and encouragement and support.
Missional – Ultimately, we are a missional community led by the Holy Spirit, committed to spreading the light of Jesus to those we encounter and following Jesus into the estate (John 8:12). To reach the 93% on the estate that do not yet know Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-16 (The Message)
14-16 “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
