DNA 1 - What kind of church will we be?
OUTLINE
On Sunday Hugh Preached the first sermon in our DNA series, looking at the 'culture' that we seek to foster as a church. We started to answer the questions 'What kind of church will we be?'. We looked at 3 points;
1. We will be a church where everyone is WELCOME.
- We will be a church where you can belong before you behave.
2. We will be a church where everyone is NEEDED.
- We will be spiritual contributors, not spiritual consumers.
2. We will be a church where everyone is CHANGED.
