A few values that lie at the heart of who we are:

Christ:

We seek to be centred on Christ in all we do, working out how to be co-workers with him in building the Kingdom of God; we will wrestle with and try to apply his words in our lives and in our group; we will celebrate through the meal; we will commit to Christ’s justice in our world; we will learn to be servants of our neighbour and of the Servant King Christ himself.

Community:

We seek to be a community shaped by Christ, open, engaged and inclusive; we will try to incarnate Christ’s love in our group by deed and word, weeping with those who weep and rejoicing with those who rejoice; we will offer love and support to one another; we will commit to helping one another in our journey and in our searching; we will encourage one another to act justly and to love mercy.

Justice:

We will be outward looking in our focus, seeking to respond to the global challenges presented to us in the world today; we will try to work out, as part of our commitment to Christ, what it might mean to be a Kingdom citizen in our locality, in our country and in our world today; we will seek to act justly (not merely talk of justice) and stand with the oppressed and marginalised.

Celebration:

In our journey together, we will celebrate, through the meal, our fellowship together in Christ; we will share with each other, with food and drink, our joys, our anniversaries, our milestones; we seek to incarnate Christ’ blessing upon us in our laughter, our stories and our reflection; we will pre-enact the great banquet of the renewed earth with the finest wine and richest food!

Service:

We will try to learn the way of service exampled in the life of Christ; this may be in our workplace, our homes, in our locality or further a-field; we will support each other as we aim to serve different people in different situations and in different ways.

Journey:

We recognise that we journey in hope; our travelling will be accompanied and celebratory; we pilgrim to Christ and to redemption in him; we will challenge each other in our discipleship and spiritual nurturing to press on with perseverance; we will learn from the wisdom of brothers and sisters down the ages and across all human divides.

Connected:

We seek to be connected with our culture, our time and our space in which we seek to build the Kingdom Christ inaugurated; we will try to integrate our faith with our life; we will be connected to our community, the community of saints in all ages and all places and to Christ himself.
