Denomination: Baptist
Welcome to CFS, a dirt under the finger-nails, living faith, sort of church that is a network of home-based groups in Southend, Rochford, Westcliff, Leigh, Southchurch, Canvey Island and so on... We organise around Jesus' mission and community life, we've come to realise that a weekly Sunday service would not be our priority in following Jesus.
CFS Values
Everyone knows the words go through a stick of rock.
They're not just printed on the ends. So, if you cut the church through the middle what would you see? What is it that makes CFS tick?
The answer is our values...they're desperately important to us...The church as a community spent 2004 discerning what these values should be. They are foundational to all decisions we make.
There are 4 of them...
We value Jesus at the centre...
doing it his way; changing as we follow him deeper; relying on him; recognising we're a little bit of his world wide church; realising Jesus' Spirit is at work now.
We value building community...
building real and loving relationships as we rely on each other; growing up in faith together; giving our community away to others.
We value all people...
moving wider to all; encouraging participation by all; standing up with those who need us.
We value living life to the full...
finding Jesus in all parts of life; holding on to faith as we take risks; helping each other to grow into the full and unique people God wants.
