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
