Moravian Place pastorate mission statement
Our Mission Statement is to “Gather Grow and Go”
Gather means to meet, eat, worship and pray together regularly, encouraging each other and building up our faith, feeling connected to HTB and part of the local community.
Grow means to grow in faith (upwards, inwards and outwards) and to grow in the sense of maturing in our faith. In Ephesians Chapter 4 Paul writes that “we are given different gifts to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ”.
So we want to grow – whether we have just finished Alpha and become a Christian, or maybe we are thinking about becoming a Christian, or whether there has never been a time when we have not known the love of God, we are all on a journey and we can always grow!
Go means to fulfil the Great Commission in Matthew Chapter 28 to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” in the knowledge that Jesus is with us always. This means we go into the local community, we impact London, we reach out to other communities in the UK and then the wider world!
