Where are we going?
VISION & VALUES
We’re in the 2nd decade of a new millennim and our church will be 30 years old this year! From humble beginnings in 1980, Lakeside Community Church Perton has grown to over 150 adults & young people and is developing both a local & international ministry that reaches out across the globe.
Our theme this year is ‘life in all its fulness’ from John 10:10 and we use this to set some visionary goals for the life and journey of this church now and in the future:
Our primary goal is to prepare for a real & sustainable move of God in this area. Perton lies in a transition zone between the city and the countryside and we find ourselves involved in both areas: the city with its urban needs and the people living in the villages on the edge of the city & out into the countryside. I believe God loves this area and its people and know that around us many are searching for something authentic and lasting.
Secondly we are contributing to the transformation of the city of Wolverhampton through our involvement with the W’ton NET churches events, helping to pioneer W’ton Youth For Christ and develop involvement in other initiatives.
We intentionally go beyond the boundary of our own church to reach out to other local churches, believing that together we can make a difference.
We see our church as a resource which is developing transferrable values & ministries from which others can benefit.
Finally, we strongly believe in the power of ‘team’ and seek to develop & release more key leaders & teams as our church grows.
My hope is that we capture this season of opportunity through every person pursuing their individual Christian destiny, and live out what we believe in our homes, with our neighbours, in the schools & colleges, at work and everywhere in our communities, for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
May God richly bless you as you serve him day to day.
