We are people of God.
Born in the waters of baptism,
We are disciples of Christ.
Energised with God’s purpose,
We are Spirited for mission.
The God beyond our knowing
is known to us as the author of life.
As loving Father,
He nurtures and enables us.
As protective Mother,
She is present to our joys and fears.
As Holy Other,
the light of God’s face shines upon us,
reflected in the wonder of created and creating.
We believe that Jesus Christ
is the liver of life,
human and divine:
The One who chooses the path;
The One who walks the path;
The One who calls us to pilgrimage
on that same path.
God is revealed in the lived life
of baby, child, and adult.
God is proclaimed in suffering and death,
and in the One
whose resurrected, renewed and ongoing life
is celebrated when we banquet together,
sharing God’s nourishment
in order to share God’s life and living.
The pulse of the cosmos is sung by the Spirit of God.
It courses through the veins of faithful and seeker,
blossoming in relationships of generosity and grace.
This Spirit sparks and prompts the individual,
brings dynamic energy to groups
and empowers communities into blessing.
Through the Spirit,
divine favour and fulfilment is offered, given and received.
Bearing God’s image,
We are people of God.
Born in the waters of baptism,
We are disciples of Christ.
Energised with God’s purpose,
We are Spirited for mission.
