VISION & VALUES
Vision
We are a people who have a desire to love and glorify God and passionately make His love known, having a Hunger for God and a Heart for people. We believe that Meadows Community Church should be:
- A church that is totally devoted to glorifying God, having a life energized by the Holy Spirit’s power.
- A church which loves God’s Word and devotes itself to its teaching, meditating on it, studying it and living by it.
- A church where people demonstrate their love for each other. A radical love where masks are removed and lives shared. Where people laugh, cry, pray, sing and serve together in authentic Christian fellowship. Where those who have more share with those who have less.
- A church where we see God moving in miraculous ways, where people become filled with awe and wonder and praise God for all His marvellous works.
- A church which reaches out to the poor and needy, expressing God’s love to them in practical ways.
- A church which reaches out into the community, looking to God to draw many people into the kingdom.
- A church which offers unbelievers a vision of life that is so beautiful it takes their breath away.
Values
We believe that:
- Godliness is more important than gifting
- The message is more important than the method
- Relationship is more important than ritual
- People are more important than programmes
- Character is more important than reputation

HOME GROUPS
We as a community church believe passionately in Home Groups. They are vital to the life of Meadows. Community is important and it provides a sense of belonging.
Home groups also ensure that no one stands alone, struggles alone, serves alone, develops alone, seeks alone, or grows up alone.
The groups are roughly geographically focused around the Borough and meet usually on a Tuesday evening.

The course, while based on Christian principles, is very helpful for any couple with or without a Christian faith or church background.
