A Little More About Us

WHO ARE WE?

We feel strongly that we are a community of people who welcome and accept everyone, however broken, recognising that we are all broken in various ways, but we relate to a perfect heavenly Father. We are charismatic and love to be in Gods presence. We are evangelical in our beliefs of who Jesus is. We are a church family who are independent of denomination, but we have good relationships with 24:7 prayer ( the communities) and Proximity ( part of message trust). We also have pastoral care from friends in other churches that we relate to. Both for the leaders and for anyone in the congregation to connect to.

We relate well to other local churches in the area and are pleased to have been invited to join with Churches Together in Shrewsbury, a regular Shrewsbury churches leaders breakfast and other Church connections across the town.

We agree with the Evangelical Alliance Statement of Faith as a Christian Church.

The creeds are a great place to go to for our belief and this is one we really like and agree with. Nicene Creed

We have a variety of people who serve, lead, and oversee in all areas of church life. Our leaders are from varied backgrounds of tradition and denomination. We have three Senior Leadership Teams who are both male and female.

These senior leadership teams are called:

A. The Smaller Pastoral Team (SPT)

B. The Trustees

C. The Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

D. The Senior Pastors of the Church

A. Covering proactive and reactive pastoral care

B. Governance and financial aspects of Church

C. Cover all ‘other’ things in Church!

D. Terry and Helen Hotchkiss are in each of the teams. Prayerful discussions and decisions are made in each team.

The church family is consulted regularly by way of a family zoom and by being in close relationship with one another – our programme is very flexible and we would love people to serve and contribute wherever they would like to.

We love the family that is being built and want to continue with the organic way things are changing and be ready to serve our fabulous community and love each other well – in whatever way we can.
