Our Vision:
- Our vision for the Reformed Church of St Marys
is of a visible community of Christians where, by
God's grace:
- Above all else, we love the Lord God with all our hearts. We believe that honoring and glorifying God is our first purpose.
- Our love for God, our love for each other, and our love for those who are yet to believe in God are evident in our words and deeds.
- We celebrate God's grace to us in Jesus, and in gratitude we worship Him together. We honour and worship Him in our relationships, in our daily business, our family, and in outreach and service.
- The Word of God is taught boldly and believers are discipled and effectively equipped for ministry and leadership.
- We dedicate time to reading God's Word and to prayer, to sharing and hospitality.
- We are committed to reach out, accept and love unbelievers.
- We diligently exercise our love for each other in fellowship and spiritual, emotional and physical care.
- We teach, train, correct, rebuke and encourage one another in the faith.
- We recognise we are part of God's church which is empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfil God's mission.
