2010 is the Year of Prayer in the Vision For Life programme

We are a group of committed Christians who love to worship God and seek to serve Him in our community.

The church is situated in the heart of Shanklin, a lovely seaside town on the Isle of Wight.  Please come and pay us a visit and discover the life changing power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 

Our Vision Statement

Our aim is to build up a lively Church as an effective witness to Jesus Christ in the community and to provide a central and flexible resource for all ages and abilities.

Summary

The strategic thinking was set under five headings, ecumenism, changing church, spirituality and core values, ways of working, and finance and resources.:

  • That our commitment to ecumenism should not restrain us from focusing on mission. We are called to live, not die.

  • That the structures have been put in place for local experiments in being church differently

  • That we are summoned to renewal, to model the love of God and the unity we have given by moving beyond stereotypical divisions of ‘liberal’ and ‘evangelical’.

  • That the local church is central to our mission, and must take priority in our use of resources.

  • Having established those principles, we then suggest ways in which the work of the Assembly might be re-configured to give priority to mission.
