Declaration of Intent
D2. Our Shared Vision
Our Partnership needs Vision - a shared sense of what God is calling us to become, and where His Spirit is inspiring us to journey together. Some key themes have emerged from our shared deliberations, which have been especially inspired by the Old Testament prophets (especially from Isaiah 6)
- God’s holiness - and our need for repentance from past attitudes
- God’s glory - that we are called to reflect in our church life
- God’s kindness - leading us through times of wilderness into the ‘Promised Land’
- God’s vitality - creating new life and growth bubbling up into us
- God’s call - leading us into practical action for His Kingdom
In sequence the process is : Vision of God : Repentance : Call by God : Action : Growth for God.
Through this process we believe that God is revealing Himself and calling us to a Vision of Growth, summed up as :
We exist in order to BE the People of God and EXTEND the Kingdom of God throughout West Swindon and The Lydiards.
Like the combined heat of five burning coals, we can grow together, to be more than the sum of our individual parts!
