Our Mission, Vision and Values

This page is about looking to our future and seeing how God wants us live out His plan in this place. However, we can’t look to the future without first acknowledging our past. The original and comprehensive version of our Mission and Values statement can be found here.

“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.”

Romans 1:8

For many years now, the Holy Spirit has been so active and alive amongst the people of TUC. We give thanks to God through Jesus Christ for your faith and your good works, which are all for the glory of God!

We are a people who pray without ceasing in order to know and line up with God’s plan. We are a people who die to self in order to serve others and help others know Christ. We are a people with a generous spirit, always seeking to care for those around us. We don’t say this to build up our own egos, but to acknowledge what God has done among us.

Our Mission, Values, Goals and Actions as described are an attempt to ensure we continue being God’s people in this place, lining up with His plan. It is an attempt to ensure the good work that Holy Spirit has done among us continues for many more generations to come.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:10

Jesus said “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12

At TUC, we believe God is calling us to be a campfire church - a gathered people who shine the light of Christ for all the world.

But what do we mean by “campfire church”?

A campfire is a place where everyone can gather around for warmth, community and fun. There’s always room to expand the circle and invite others to join in.

Jesus is the light of the world, so we gather with him at our centre. We are called to be a people and a place where everyone is welcome to be part of God’s family and know His love, light and life.

We are not content to huddle around the fire and keep it to ourselves. Rather, we are called to share the light of Christ with everyone for the glory of God. Think of this image; an ember from one campfire can be taken to another place to start a whole new campfire, providing light and warmth for many new people.

Our Values:

Our values are expressed in the things we do, the activities we run, the decisions we make - everything! When these values are expressed, we are on our way to fulfilling God’s mission for us - that the light of Christ is shared with all the world.
