- nurturing and using our God given talents and resources with confidence as faithful stewards;
- meeting people where they are.

- the growth of our congregation.
- a new generation - including children, youth, and young adults � to carry God�s mission into the future.
- the well-being of our neighbourhood, and solidarity with those who are marginalised.
