A people who, a place where…

Bangor Elim aims to be:

a people who, a place where…
a people who accept grace and dispense grace in equal measure
a place where mistakes are rubbed out not rubbed in
a people who will help me carry my burdens
a place where faith hope and love grow
a people who are not superficial or shallow
a place of great joy and great rejoicing
a people who would lay down their life for me
a place where exuberant generosity is the norm
a people who don’t point the finger but lend a hand
a place where the impossible is seen as merely difficult
a people who join with all of heaven to lift up the name that is above every name
a place where no one is hungry, for food, for friendship or for forgiveness
a people who always cheer and never heckle
a place full of servant hearts and Jesus mind
a people who have all things common but are anything but
a place where others always come first
a people who always give the benefit of the doubt
a place where rejection and loneliness’ are banished
a people who not only hear the word but live it
a place where the outcasts are accepted and the unlovable lavished with love
a people who proclaim the message and demonstrate the power of the cross
a place where disagreements are settled with grace and kindness
a people who take great risks and leaps of faith.
a place where Jesus is the centre and God the most glorious inhabitant
a people who love God and each other extravagantly
a place to belong
