Living Out Your Faith “In a world where people don’t stop and listen, we here will listen”		Lives Shared - Lives Transformed “When you are living in community you suddenly realise what discipleship and following Jesus is really about.”
Wrestling with God  “I knew from about the age of 12 or 13 that I would be a vicar in the Church and I wasn’t even going to church!”		Saved by the Grace of God “I was just going to be a sinner saved by the grace of God and let the power of that love and forgiveness be the power that changes and transforms me.”
God-given Talents “It felt like I had found a new way to worship by using something that is so at my core.”		Listening to God “It’s quite nerve-wracking when God tells you to move somewhere.”
Coming soon! The Gift of God in Creation “I’ve always had a faith; I’ve always had a belief that Jesus walked this earth.”		Coming soon! God in Action “This is God, this is real, this is now, this is not just 2000 years ago.  This is today; we are seeing God in action out in our town.  I find that deepens my faith.”
Coming soon! Life, Hope and Transformation “We’ve got to do mission, we can’t wait for people to come to us, we’ve got to go out to them.”		Coming soon!
