BE PART OF THE SEASON
Since August 2025, we have been exploring the needs and means of changing as a congregation so that we come into a new season of fruitfulness. On this page are a range of resources we have shared over the months. Please take time to review and to get involved this term in the upcoming opportunities. The video here is a short introduction to the term's events, which Scott shared on 18th January 2026. This season of change is all about exploring and equipping how to live out our Purpose and Values more fully and faithfully, and these are outlined below for reference.

A CHURCH FAMILY
ACROSS THE UPPER BRAES
We seek to invite, encourage and enable people to follow Jesus Christ
Connected with God: we are meeting with God in a personal, growing and life-giving way
Belonging to God's family: each of us is supported by and contributing to the church family
Equipped for life in the Kingdom of God: we know who we are in Christ and are learning wisdom in living this out
Sent to partner with God: we share locally and more widely in God’s mission in the world
