Our mission is: to raise a church of prayerful, passionate, missionary disciples of Jesus, empowered to serve God’s plan to renew the whole of creation.
This vision for a move of God is echoed in our history.
St Michael’s used to be the ‘barracks church’ – soldiers would march up to worship from what is now Hampton Magna. They were trained and sent out into battle all over the world; we want to recapture that image, training, equipping and sending God’s people.
More than that, in the year 2000, an earthquake hit central England with the epicenter of Budbrooke and, more specifically, St Michael’s itself. Our belief is that something amazing will flow out from the church and have wider impact in the local area.
As we continue to pray for this, we seek to equip the church to live and grow:
in our identity as God’s children,
in our walk as Jesus’ disciples,
and in ministering his love to each other, our communities and networks in faith, power and authority.
Set in the middle of a number of communities, we are committed to form patterns of mission together that reach into each area that we serve, as well as the networks many of us share and live within.
