OUR VALUES
So, as sons and daughters we simply want to play our part in what our Father is doing.
Along with the rest of God’s church, we join in the adventure of seeing every part of our world reshaped and made whole, just as God wants it to be. In a nutshell, we are a community of “loved lovers, loving others.”
LOVED
Our journey starts with the love of God. We love God, simply because He loved us first.
When we understand just how much God loves us and when we realise that his love for us can’t be changed, it frees us to live without fear and without limits, to do incredible things.
Here in King’s Church we put a lot of emphasis on understanding what the Bible teaches us about being sons and daughters of God. All of our mission and hard work is actually the result of a close and loving partnership with our Father.
Knowing we don’t have to do anything to earn God’s love and acceptance brings us a wonderful sense of security. It brings an end to continually comparing ourselves to others and worrying that God is out to punish us. God’s love is simply awesome and it’s the source of our identity and everything we do.
LOVERS
God’s love for us is unstoppable. This causes us to love him back.
When you love someone passionately, you will do anything for them; that’s the way we want to love God. We love to worship God.
We spend a lot of time as a community worshipping, praying and experiencing God’s love. It’s really powerful when we meet with God together as well as on our own.
Our aim is to help each other build close relationships with God. True worship is when our love for God affects the everyday choices we make.
We want to live every moment as passionate lovers of God, so much so that it becomes our reputation.
LOVING OTHERS
A huge part of loving God is loving the people all around.
The way we love each other in the church community is proof that God’s love is changing our lives.
Jesus also sends each and every one of us into the world to show his love and power to people who don’t yet know him. We believe God wants to work with us, his children, to heal the sick and to set people free from all kinds of spiritual oppression.
We get to express the generous nature that He’s put inside us as we give ourselves to others. We want for people to meet God’s supernatural love whenever they meet any one of us.
Whether in a King’s Church meeting, at work or at home, we each become a walking demonstration of God’s love. We are always on a mission to love others on our Father’s behalf.
YOUR NEXT STEP?
As each one of us is sent out in the love of Jesus, we can expect to see many more people becoming a part of the church. With this in mind, we want to structure ourselves for growth.
We don’t dream of squashing everyone into a bigger and bigger building where it can become all about attending a service; we dream of a church made up of many vibrant and active communities. As one large church we can do amazing things together but having multiple sites means that we can reach more people where they are at. The leadership structure of the church reflects this multi-site vision. A core apostolic team brings vision and direction across the church and local teams of site leaders help us to work this out in each of our communities. There are also leaders who serve across all the sites in certain ministry areas. We long for unity across the wider church and believe that God has called King’s Church to be a blessing, resource and sending base for our whole region and beyond. We are involved with many ministries outside our own church boundaries, resourcing and encouraging King’s Church to reach out with the love of Jesus in every way we can.
So what’s your part to play? How will you become all that God has designed you for? There’s an adventure waiting, the adventure of church, the adventure of reaching Greater Manchester with the love of Jesus. So come on board, it starts today!
