Our Values

We are a vibrant community of wholehearted, Bible believing followers of Jesus Christ who gather to encounter God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – growing in faith and resilience through every season of life.

We are a place of sanctuary and belonging, where God’s love is actively poured out to the hurting, the broken, and the marginalised.

We are building a culture where people can dream big, discover their God-given identity, and live out their full potential in Christ.

We are carriers of God’s love, power, and presence, sharing the good news of Jesus with Chester and reaching far beyond.

We stand alongside the wider body of Christ in Chester and the region, working together to see our places transformed through the gospel in word and deed.

We are committed to being a spiritual home where believers grow deep roots. Life is not always easy—but God is always present. Our desire is to walk together through the ups and downs, cultivating spiritual maturity marked by:

· Daily intimacy with God
· Confidence in our identity as sons and daughters
· Clear discernment of God’s voice
· Evident fruit of the Spirit
· Active expression of the gifts of the Spirit

A Place to Grow: Maturing in Faith for the Long Haul

We nurture this through:

· Sunday gatherings centred on worship, word, and presence
· Midweek groups that build connection and accountability
· Rich Bible teaching and interactive studies
· Passionate, Spirit-led worship and prayer
· Healing and wholeness ministries
· A thriving children’s and youth ministry
· A culture of belonging and discipleship
· Leadership development and intentional succession planning

We are carriers of the good news. The love, power, and presence of God are not confined to our meetings – they’re meant to overflow into the streets, homes, schools, and workplaces of our city and beyond.

We express this through:

· Evangelistic initiatives like Alpha
· Spirit-empowered prayer and intercession
· Social action that demonstrates God’s heart
· Everyday conversations that carry eternal impact

A Gospel People: Bringing God’s Love to Chester and Beyond

We believe in one Church, many congregations. Together, we are more effective. We are committed to unity, collaboration, and collective impact across Chester.

We invest in this through:

· Participation in ministerial gatherings and citywide networks
· Hosting and supporting joint worship and outreach events
· Championing and contributing to citywide initiatives
· Equipping and mobilising for city transformation

A Kingdom Partnership: Working with the Wider Church in Chester

Jesus came for the least, the last, and the lost – and so do we. We want to be a church that sees the invisible, embraces the broken, and creates safe spaces for healing and hope.

We live this out by:

· Building dedicated teams to serve marginalised communities
· Championing international ministries (e.g. Iranian, African, Hong Kong and others)
· Offering both spiritual nourishment and practical support
· Creating a culture of refuge, safety, and honour for all
· Practising pastoral care that is personal, holistic, and Spirit-led
· Helping people discover their purpose in God’s big story

A City of Refuge: Loving the Marginalised

God created each person with unique dreams and potential. We want to be a church that releases and celebrates creativity, vision, and purpose in every life.

We cultivate this by:

· Encouraging everyone to contribute and know their value
· Helping people identify and pursue their God-given dreams
· Making space for innovation and Spirit-inspired initiatives
· Providing pathways for people to get involved and lead
· Equipping people to thrive in both church and everyday life
