Our Values.

 

Collaborative & Partnering.

 

We work together as a group of churches, partnering with local initiative and resources to signpost our neighbours to additional support within the community.

 

Inclusive & Accepting.

 

As a network of Christian churches, anyone is welcome to come and serve or be served regardless of age, race, religious background, belief system, gender, sexual orientation etc.

 

Intentional & Responsive.

 

To love our neighbours and community well, we need to be watchful of the needs and intentional about how we respond, stewarding our resources to where they are needed and wanted

 

Integrity & Excellence

 

We want to deliver high quality projects with transparency. This includes everything from the food we provide (high quality and healthy), the way we recruit and treat our team (safeguarding and staff care), the way we treat our neighbours and colleagues (with dignity and respect) and the way we handle our finances; as we steward ALL aspects of what God has entrusted to us in a responsible way.

 

Advocacy & Empowering

 

We want to pay attention to the ideas, dreams and voices within our neighbourhood as well as speaking up for those who don’t have a voice through advocacy, while also working to empower them to have one through campaigning and seeking change at a structural and governmental level.

 

Prayerful & Motivated by the Love of Christ

 

All our work is done in prayer because we believe God loves Smethwick and wants to see our neighbours and our community flourish
