Vision Sunday – 8th February 2009
From The church we want to be:
By grace through faith we are prayerfully committed to becoming a community of people who... 
Reach out to all the peoples of East Oxford and the world with the glorious gospel of Christ:
We believe that all people need a relationship with God, and in order for that to happen they must hear the good news about Jesus' death for our sins, and his resurrection for our hope. We believe that God intends his church to be a beacon of hope in a dark world. We aim to serve, love, and speak in the name of Christ so that through us, people may trust Christ and find the joy of salvation.
•	Using the church website if necessary discuss how biblically faithful this statement is.  In particular is the commitment to “serve, love and speak” a faithful summary of the way that Christians are called to reach out?
•	Discuss the ways in which outreach may go wrong.  What can you do to put this right?
•	How important is the building in this?  What is your role in enabling us to use the building more effectively for Christ?  (Examples: cleaning, serving in a group, giving, praying, maintenance etc)
