13. We looked at…
How we were doing!

14. And we decided……………….
On 3 strategic goals for 2018

15. Discipleship
: Getting to knowing God better and learning how to grow a relationship with Him.

16. Service : James 2 v 17 (Faith without works is dead)
Something this church is pretty good at. Modelling the love God has for us through the way we reach out to others in practical ways. Silver St – serving the community – is an example of that. Youth Group Playgroup – Christian ethos in action. The way in which we serve hopefully illustrates WWJD.

17. Mission
Being intentional in all our relationships to move people closer to being a disciple

18. So that’s the vision for the next 12 months.
