Our Aims PDF Print E-mail
At St Stephens Church Claremont our aim is to know and love God through Christ crucified

Our core values

1We work out our aim by placing the Bible at the centre of everything we do. We read it personally, study it in groups and preach it publicly seeking to live under its authority.

2We commit to prayer. We will motivate each other to be disciplined and regular in prayer.

3We commit to growth in personal holiness. In response to God’s salvation we will hold each other to the highest standards of Christian living.

4We share our faith making evangelism something that we live.

5Recognising that our love for people shows our love for God, we consciously seek to further community by serving each other in genuine, joyful, love relationships.

6We commit to training future workers for gospel ministry and training ourselves in discipleship to better serve God.

7We recognise the significant amount of poverty and need in our country, to this end we uphold gospel-motivated social concern.

8We endeavour to be constantly involved in planting new (and strengthening existing) churches, groups, communities and ministries trying to reach every corner of our society with the gospel.

9We commit to world mission (across international borders), regional mission (across cities and provinces) and local mission (within our own city).
