Our six core Christian values

'One family, together we shine.'

'I am the good shepherd' - John 10:11 

The Lost Sheep parable reminds us that every single one of us matters. We are a community. We look out for each other and can all achieve anything through God.

 

Our Christian values enable us to live out this vision.  We have six core values:

Friendship

Generosity

Perseverance

Forgiveness

Compassion

Respect
