Our core values
Gratitude
We practise Gratitude by choosing each day to be grateful and see life as a gift, acknowledging, practising and thanking God for God's unconditional love for us and all that God has given us. We also appreciate and express our thanks in word and deed for what we receive from others as well as allowing others to show their appreciation of us.
Respect
We practise Respect by thinking and acting in a positive way about ourselves and others because we are all made in the image of God. We recognise and appreciate that each person is unique with their own skills and talents. We also seek to create an environment where discussion, constructive feedback and new ideas are valued. Additionally, we value and care for the earth, all creation and all that we use.
Compassion
We practise Compassion by recognising that compassion was at the heart of the ministry of Jesus. We forgive ourselves when we fail in some way in order that we can also forgive others. We are deeply aware of others in their pain and fears and do what we can to ease their suffering. We also acknowledge the independence of all living beings who are all part of one another and all involved in one another.
