Our Vision - Our Dream

We have a clear sense of purpose and identity here at ABC and believe that God is able to do much more than we can ask, think, or imagine as we give ourselves to His purpose for us! We believe that we are Jesus’ body, His hands, feet and voice to people that we have influence with through the activities of our church.

Our vision is simple, this is the church that we see:
​

• A church whose head is Jesus, whose help is the Holy Spirit and whose focus is the Great Commission
• Where people find grace, love, acceptance, freedom and hope
• A people unified, devoted to God’s word, praying, and full of God’s Spirit
• Whose praise and worship touches Heaven and changes Earth
• A place where children want to come
• A people empowered equipped and full of purpose
• Building a strong every member ministry church
• An outreach centre to the community of Appledore and beyond

Our Values - What Shapes our Culture

Culture is really important because this determines the outcome of all that we do together as a church family. These are some of the things that we feel are really important and things we want to become habits of our behaviour as we work to fulfil our vision together.
 
Our core values are these:
 

• Jesus Centered – No matter the activity, that Jesus is revealed and at the heart, and in His name we glorify our Father in heaven.
• Extravagant Love – Experiencing and sharing the limitless love of Jesus.
• Fervent Prayer – Praying with the Holy Spirit to see His plans accomplished through our lives and church
• Naturally Supernatural – Living in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, expecting the miraculous.
• Embracing Generations – Maintaining relevance and engagement with every generation, being current
• Bold Generosity – Going beyond, blessed to be a blessing,
• Every Member Ministry – We believe in the priesthood of all believes and God’s way of working is team.
• Excellence – Representing the culture of heaven, bringing our best.
