Who we are<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We seek to be a dynamic community of God\u2019s people demonstrating the reality of the Kingdom of God through our relationships and outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We place prayer at the centre of our church life acknowledging our dependence upon God for all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We place high value on building genuine relationships of love and care between members of the church family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand we are a small part of the world-wide church and are joined in love to those who are suffering for their faith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How we think<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We recognise liberty of conscience in all secondary issues and will encourage loving, informed discussions where differences may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that through discipleship, the church family can complement parents as they nurture their children and help them walk with Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that every member should be given the chance to develop their knowledge of God\u2019s Word and the application of it in their daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe in plural leadership, so that those with leadership gifts will work in partnership with others and be accountable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What we do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We will aim for excellence and demand integrity in all that we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect every member to identify their God-given gifts and use them effectively, encouraged by the support of the church family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use our resources as good stewards of God\u2019s world, recognising all that we are and have belongs to God and is to be used wisely for His glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are committed to true evangelical unity and will work with all churches who seek to be Bible shaped and Gospel driven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How we respond to others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We believe that together we have a responsibility to reach out into the community of Kinross-Shire and surrounding areas with the Gospel message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe that men and women are equal in worth before God, and the complementary roles which each play in the life of the church community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We value every person we meet and will treat each one with dignity and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe in world mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
