OUR VALUES
Values Matter to us at Redland Church. What we values shapes who we become and what we do. Our values articulate something of who we are but also some of what we want to be. Our hope is in stating them they give us a target to aim for and hold ourselves accountable to.
BEING WITH JESUS
We long to be with and abide in Jesus in everything, and so we make time, in all we do, to become aware of his presence with us. Spending time with Jesus is our centre; it is in him alone we know the living God.
DEEP FORMATION
We want to allow Jesus to shape who we are becoming. We seek depth in our relationship with Him attending to the deeper slow work of spiritual formation such that we might grow into people who are an increasing blessing in Redland, Bristol and beyond.
GROWING FAMILY
We strive to be a church of all ages, for all ages- a family that creates relational space for others to belong. We need to continually engage with emerging generations, shaping our community so all ages can continue to belong, especially those on the margins. This will mean creating space at the leadership table for a wide range of voices including younger people.
STEPPING OUT
We want to be a community that is real with Jesus and one another; honest about our weakness and our need for God. True relational depth always involves risk. We seek to build a culture of love and safety where we can step out with courageous vulnerability. As we do, we make space for Jesus to transform us, for us to strengthen one another, and for our love to overflow into the world.
OUR FAMILY
Redland Church is a part of the Church of England within the Diocese of Bristol.
