What We Believe

What we believe

Christ Church and St Andrews are churches that take their commitment to the people of Herne Bay and surrounding areas seriously.  We recognise that each church has its own flavour and so we have a vision statement which we hope will help you understand something about our priorities and outlook.

Our vision is to:

Glorify God by building a Christ centred community through the power of the Holy Spirit.  We do this by making and growing followers of Jesus.
 

Church Family Motto 2024


Each year we chose a verse for the church family to have as a verse that lives with us throughout the year. Each year we have chosen one which we hope will either challenge or encourage or ideally do both. This year’s verse is
 
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen”

2 Peter 3:18
 
 The encouragements of this verse are that
  • If we trust in Jesus, we can know Him as our Lord and Saviour.
  • Jesus is glorious, we do not need to make Him glorious and so when we say ‘to Him be glory’ we are simply asking that His glory will be seen for all eternity.
Here is the challenge
  • The challenge is to us and to us as a church family. We are to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. This year individually and as a church family we want to understand all God has done for us better and know Jesus better. Knowing Jesus better will mean we become more like Him. That is our challenge for 2024, to grow in Jesus individually day by day and as a church family through all we do together.
