Discipleship Bridge
The Discipleship Bridge
- The Good News – the Gospel of Christ
A firm grasp of the basic Christian message is fundamental for our faith and service.
- Life in the Spirit.
How to live as a disciple and grow in the Christian life is essential for effectiveness.
- Body-Life Fellowship
Giving and receiving encouragement and strengthening as part of the Christian family must be a real experience for us.
- Spiritual Disciplines
There are time-honoured practices of day to day faith that are habits for building health Christian faith.
- Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts
Each church member should be helped to discover his/her special unique giftedness to build up the Body of Christ and to serve the world.
- Your Mission with God
God has a mission in the world and we are called to be part of it. Each member of Christ’s team should join the Mission!
Key Values of NAP
Our Parish has a vision – to share the love of Christ: to experience God’s love for us in Christ and to share that love with others, within the church and outside.
We hold four key values as a compass for our vision. They are aspirational goals for all our ministry. We want to be:
- BIBLICAL
We believe that the Bible contains all things necessary for salvation. The Gospel of salvation in Christ and the way of discipleship as outlined in the New Testament is our checklist for faith and conduct. We will look first to Scripture for principles and guidance about how we live and serve as a church.
- PRAYERFUL
We want to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in prayer and undergird all our activities and needs with prayer for God’s blessing.
- MISSIONAL
Our Parish does not exist for ourselves. We are called to be part of God’s mission to the world. By our witness and service, we seek to commend the love of Christ to all people.
- ENCOURAGING
In all our ministry activities and fellowship, we will seek to be channels of encouragement to others.
- GENEROUS
We want to be a church that releases to others the blessings that God has given us. This will show in generosity to the work of the Lord, to mission and to people in need.
