The Future:
We face the uncertainties of the future,
sustained by the love of God, through our saviour, Jesus Christ. In his strength we pledge our very best efforts to sustain
and extend the kingdom. We have many obvious tasks before us, and we know that new ones will emerge.
Our Mission Statement: 'Working in Partnership’ - We aim to strengthen our benefice of five
parishes: Mudford, Ashington, Chilton Cantelo, Marston Magna and Rimpton by working more closely, thinking more deeply, and
sharing our resources.
'Developing
the Lay Ministry’ - We aim to train leaders for worship, community service and outreach. We long to share
the love of Jesus, and the joy of Christian living.
'Building
awareness' – We want to be more aware of our place in God's continuing creation; more aware of each other through
a deeper understanding of our strengths, weaknesses and needs; and more aware of the role of the church in the wider community.
'Bringing in the young' - We need to strengthen
and extend our programme to attract children, young people, and young adults.
'Maintaining the fabric'. We have a beautiful, historic church. We reconfirm our responsibility as
custodians of the church buildings in Mudford, to use them as best we can in the service of our Lord.
