What We Value
Turning Our Beliefs into Actions
Before we put our beliefs into action, we need to work out what's important. What, out our belief, so we put into action?​
​
It's simple: What matters to God matters to us.
It all boils down to two simple but powerful values: Everyone is Welcome and We Journey Together.
Everyone is Welcome
The radically inclusive love of God demonstrated by Jesus shows us that everyone matters. There are no exceptions to this.
​
With that comes respect for everyone's uniqueness and path in life. We respect our differences because God does.
​
It also means that we must strive as individuals and as a faith community to break down barriers wherever we find them.
We Journey Together
Learning for All
In our journey of faith, learning is crucial. We approach teaching with depth, knowing everyone has the capacity to understand through the Holy Spirit.
​
Empowering Growth
Transformation is central to our spiritual life. We trust in God's love to reshape us and the world. Our faith is dynamic, constantly evolving and inspiring us towards positive growth.
​
Doing it Together
Our faith journey is a shared path. We walk together, supporting and learning from each other. It's not just where we're going, but how we travel – with kindness, respect, and open hearts. This journey brings us closer to each other and closer to God's love.
​
Not just for Individuals
All three of these values apply as much to the church as to individuals. Christianity is not static, so as we change and grow, so must St Aidan's.

Values Drive Actions
Finally, we don't just think about these values. We act on them.
This is our mission and ministry.
This is what we do.
