St Oswald’s Vision
At St Oswald’s we have set ourselves a vision of being
‘Jesus Shaped People’. The JSP course has five themes – people, teaching, prayer, team building and prophetic challenge.
People
- We aim to be a growing church attracting 5 new people every year of all ages and ethnicities
- We expect children and young people to be part of the life of the church
Teaching
- We seek to be a place where new believers are nurtured and discipled
- We desire to offer nurture and discipleship for all our members to become more Christ like
Team building
- We aim to be a diverse community where people get to know each other more both on Sunday and during the week
- To invite people to share responsibilities in the life of the church.
Prayer
- To commit to prayer outside Sunday services
- To commit to financial giving for the needs of the world
Prophetic Challenge
- To serve Little Horton in the name of Christ
- To serve the wider world in the name of Christ
St Oswald’s is dedicated to serve God within its community.
