Welcome to the Gig Mill Methodist Church Web Site.
Welcome to the web site of Gig Mill
Methodist Church, Stourbridge. The vision of the church
community here is to serve God by providing a place of
worship and a resource for the local neighbourhood, and we
like to think that we offer a very warm welcome.
You
will see on other pages of the web site that the church
building is a busy place, with lots going on for people of
various ages and interests. If we're not offering what might
appeal to you, then please let us know and we'll see what we
can do. And if you believe that you can help launch or lead
an appropriate activity that we don't currently offer -
again, please contact us.
Our
premises have served God's people locally for over seventy
years and we hope to begin re-shaping and improving them
very soon, so as to be even more useful to the community in
which we're placed. As a result, the next couple of years
promise to be especially challenging and exciting as we
dream a few more dreams and work to make them a reality.
To
give you an idea of what we're about, this is our current
Mission Statement:
- We
exist to share the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
- We
seek to express this grace, love and fellowship in our
neighbourhood, in the town of Stourbridge and in the
world community, through our work and worship, our
listening and speaking, our care and commitment.
- We
will use and develop the church premises creatively and
boldly as a place of worship and friendship, hope and
healing, vitality and sanctuary.
- We
will work for the justice and joy of God's Kingdom,
alongside all who are concerned for people and the
communities in which they live.
- We aim
to serve members of our local community spiritually and
socially, in prayer and protest, so that all may have
life in its fullness.
- We are
prepared to take risks, having our hearts and minds open
to God's Spirit - open to new truths, new ways and new
people.
I
invite you to browse these pages - and look forward to maybe
meeting you some time?
