Our Purpose: "Living life Jesus' way, by His Spirit, on His mission, for His glory..."


Expressed in:

... our PRIORITIES:

  • WORSHIP: A devotion to Jesus, expressed in our personal lifestyle and our corporate gatherings, participating together through the gifts of the Holy Spirit in glorifying God, strengthening one another and sharing the Gospel (Romans 12.1).
  • FELLOWSHIP: A family of God's people, from diverse backgrounds, committed to loving, serving and supporting each other, together expressing the life of Christ (John 13.34-35)
  • DISCIPLESHIP: Through teaching, training and personal encouragement, helping each other to grow in grace and the knowledge of God, resulting in maturity and Christ-likeness (Heb 6.1)
  • MINISTRY: Helping people identify their gifts and abilities and, through training and equipping, enabling them all to find their unique place of service in the body of Christ (Heb 10.24)
  • MISSION: Expressing, in all we do, the love of God for our world through the proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our local community and beyond (Matthew 28.18-20)

... our VALUES:

  • Jesus at the centre of everything we do, grounded in the Scriptures and led by the Holy Spirit
  • An intentional family way of life - acceptance, love, grace, accountability, honesty
  • Every member a minister and empowered for service
  • Growth - in maturity, both individually and relationally
  • Informal corporate worship - welcoming the activity of the Holy Spirit
  • Compassion for the lost - spurring each other to seek all means of engagement with Herne Bay and beyond, expressing the kingdom of God through service, friendship, acts of kindness, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit's power to heal and restore broken lives
  • Exposure and accountability to the ministries of apostles, prophets, teachers and evangelists through the New Frontiers family of churches and others.
  • Fellowship with other local churches in the work and witness of the Gospel

... all DEMONSTRATED through:

  • Our corporate Sunday services: where we meet together to praise Jesus in music and fellowship, to receive Biblical teaching and to pray with and for each other.
  • Our mid-week Cell groups: where we gather in our homes for mutual encouragement, for praise and worship, for meals, and all with an inclusive heart to share this with others.
  • Our prayer meetings: where we seek to engage with and hear from our amazing God; to submit ourselves to His kingship; and to ask Him - our heavenly Father - to help us and the world around us.
  • Outside of these meetings: where we enjoy both the benefits of true community and family life, and also opportunities (such as Coffee and Chaos) through which we may share God's love with the world.
