Over the last couple of years, as we have prayed and sought vision for the future, we have sensed God calling us to shape our church around the challenge of Micah 6:8:
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Out of this we have developed The Micah Project. We believe through this project we will see God continue the task of building his church through us. By sharing in acts of justice, mercy and humility, we will offer the love, peace and grace of God to our friends, neighbours and wider community. As a result:
Our community will be changed.
We will be changed.
God will be glorified.
The project has a number of strands:
To reach out to the marginalised in our community, who have no voice and are forgotten about. To offer hope, protection, and a voice for them.
To support young people’s development particular with self-esteem, leadership and community involvement
To support young families with building a sustainable and healthy routines and relationships.
Work with the leaders of our community to address areas of inequality and discrimination, especially where it is invisible.
To support the isolated, by establishing community amongst the forgotten
Finding new ways to bring people from all ages together to share in life together.
Through the Micah Project we are looking to appoint three staff members:
