we aspire to be.
They are the foundations
on which One Church Lancs is being built.
GOD COMES where he is
wanted
So we want to be a church, a community and individuals that are…
PASSIONATE about god
We believe God is three in one. We love the Father who gave his Son for us. We love Jesus his the Son who gave his life for us and we love the Spirit who leads and guides us daily.
“God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.
John Piper
The Good News of Jesus is the greatest message we can share. His teachings show us how to live and His example is who we strive to be. He is the answer.
AUTHENTIC with god
What you see is what you get! Real people living real lives with real challenges. We can get it wrong but we get up and go again because the difference is Jesus.
We are content to be ourselves with God.
We have all been ‘fearfully and wonderfully’ made. We are unique and are a work in progress. We are ONE big family, encouraging and building one another up through genuine and honest relationships.
HUMBLE before god
Humility isn’t just a word it’s a way of living our lives in relationship with others and with God. We do not compete; there is no rivalry. We are called to value others above ourselves.
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble”.
James 4: 3
This doesn’t mean that we think less of ourselves; we simply try to think about ourselves less. It’s never about us!I It’s always about the purpose we are called to. To humbly serve our God.
GENEROUS because of god
Generosity can be a kind word, a smiling face or an open hand. It is anything that makes a positive difference to others.
“God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.” Billy Graham
We believe God has given everything for us and therefore it’s our privilege to give back to Him with our time, our finances, our skills and our passions. Generosity is a humble lifestyle of worship which never boasts.
