Core Values of the NSW District of the LCA

Growing Fresh Expressions of Church. We value attempts to grow the church in ways that are appropriate to people in particular contexts. Therefore, we are open to different and innovative ways of being church in mission.

Empowering Leadership. We value leadership that trusts people and encourages them to explore change and engage in mission with freedom and faithfulness

Taking Informed Risks in Mission. We value the taking of risks in mission. Mission requires boldness and acting in faith. We will encourage people to take informed risks and to experiment. We commit ourselves to learning and growing from all experiences, both positive and negative.

Functional Structures. We value structures that serve the mission. We are prepared to evaluate, revise and renew our structures so that they serve the mission better.

The Wider Church. We value an active partnership with the ministry and mission of the LCA as well as a co-operative spirit with other Christian churches
