SCC Vision
Our Mission
We exist to help people grow in relationship with Jesus
We believe that this is the most important relationship in life and so we want to point others to Him. In order to fulfil this, we must first be intentional to grow and keep growing in our own faith journeys.
We are confident that growing in relationship with Jesus has the power to transform lives and impact the way we engage with the world around us. We believe that as each of us grow in faith, our capacity and desire to help others grow, will increase.
Alongside this, in order to make the mission a reality, we need to take practical and specific steps. We have a 3-point vision, which details how we will live out and pursue this mission.
Our Vision
We aspire to help people grow in relationship with Jesus by serving others, growing together and experiencing God.
The vision combines our pursuit of reaching people with God's love and our desire to be a church who are intentional to keep growing in faith and putting this faith into action.
The three vision points are all integral, supporting and overlapping each other in order to fulfil the mission. An individual can enter this vision framework through any one of these junctions, but one part without another would leave a gap in the growth journey.

We believe in the value of community and also in the power of partnership. If we are to achieve the mission and see the vision fulfilled, we need to both play our part and to trust God to do His.
We are the church - not as spectators and consumers but as participants and contributors. The mission only works when we do. We all need the Church and the Church needs us.
