St Edmund’s: Sharing God’s love at the heart of the community
An Inclusive Church …
We are an inclusive community church, which reflects the diversity of our locality, united in the harmony that Christ brings.
A Spirit-led Church …
We are led by the loving work of God’s
Spirit. Shaped by what we have known in the past, we reach out in new ways for
what the Spirit
may do among us and through us now and in the future.
Serving in Diverse and Creative Partnerships …
Inspired by God who calls us to partnership with him in his creative, healing, reconciling and caring work, we actively seek and develop partnerships with diverse groups. We work with them to enrich and transform the life of our local community, strengthen its bonds, and value those who are vulnerable. We develop and celebrate links with the wider world.
Sharing Our Faith …
Within these partnerships, we give an account of the faith in Christ that motivates and inspires us and offer opportunity and invitation to worship, celebrate and follow the God of life, peace, and daring love.
We actively nurture children and young people value and care for the vulnerable and elderly and nurture the children of God of all ages, promoting interaction between generations.
Worshipping at the
Heart of the Community …St Edmunds is a place where all sections of the community, diverse cultures and different ages feel happy, safe and welcome; a place of joy, harmony, hospitality, healing and peace. Both physically and metaphorically this is a place of light where Christ’s love can be seen, where worship is at the heart of all activity, open and welcoming all into the presence of God.
