Anyone wishing to join Bridgemere Community Church and actively work alongside us is only able to do so when they can express and understand the core values which are the principles and heartbeat of our fellowship together.
We are committed to these principles and examine all new opportunities for service against these 7 core values.
This keeps us focused on the task God has called us to do for him.
Our 7 Core Values are the definition of what enables us relate together.
Central and fundamental to all that we try to do should be that our 'Lives are devoted to God'. Unless we have Jesus as Lord of our lives we are wasting our time trying to do other things.
We try to share friendship and fellowship with each other as often as we can. A lot of us live in the local area and have interaction and contact with each other on a regular basis. Fellowship & Community living is central to what we are about a fellowship.
We want to see our local community come into a relationship with Jesus Christ. That's our purpose 'our community for God'.
Just meeting together is not enough, we must be able to relate and grow together 'organically' not just as nodding acquaintances. We want to show the communities in which we live something of God's love as we love and care for each other. 'A growing relational church' is a demonstration of kingdom values
Just as a human body is totally united and 'together', so that should be with our local fellowship. We should let nothing destroy or damage that unity we share. This is also reflected in our commitment to meet and have fellowship with other churches in the area. We are called to be a 'body' not pieces of a body.
Giving is not just of our money and finance but also our energy and time and willingness to take responsibility within the life of the fellowship.
If we have our foundational principles in order we can reach out to those not yet Christians and demonstrate God's love in an attractive real way. We are still learning how to work with those in severe physical, relational and material need. God has been good to us over the past years with a number of local people coming to faith in Jesus Christ.
