We want to be increasingly…

A genuine community

Jesus modelled to us sacrificial love and called us to follow in his footsteps. Therefore, we want to be a church that works hard to care for one another - forgiving, preferring and serving each other. We know that building a genuine community is not easy, it is costly and often hard work. But we believe that it glorifies God and therefore is worth it.

Welcoming

We want to be a welcoming church. A church where, no matter your background, you have the opportunity to meet with Jesus and his people.

Mature in Christ

We want to be those who grow in Christlikeness, choosing to put Jesus first in all of life and standing out from our culture around us, despite the cost.

Diverse & United

Jesus’ church is a celebration of precious unity and great diversity. We want Life Church to increasingly reflect and celebrate the diversity of the many different ages, nations, cultures, languages and backgrounds we find in our church and in our city.

Equipped & Released

We believe each person has a part to play in the body of Christ and look to see them released to use the gifts God has given them. We also look to recognise gifted and godly individuals, investing in them for the sake of this church family and wherever God may call them in the future.

Impacting our City

We want to have a significant impact in our City for Jesus. Through sharing our faith with others and caring for some of the most vulnerable in our community, we want to demonstrate the gospel through our words, works and the wonders of God.

Generous to the mission

But we also believe the mission of God doesn’t stop at the Peterborough perimeter, but goes to the ends of the Earth. We want to be a church that invests in, prays for and even goes to the nation and nations for Jesus, even when that is costly to us here at home.
