What does it look like to live a generous life? In this third part of our vision series, Ed explores how generosity is simply giving that brings joy. Sharing the things that God has given us, not out of compulsion or duty, but because of its potential to bring joy in the lives of other people. A kind of generosity that shows us who God is and what he’s really like.

Our vision is to become deeper in our pursuit of Jesus and growing into new areas of the city, closer unity between our church locations and greater reach into our local communities, greater need in our finances and greater generosity towards others, bigger services and deeper discipleship.

We are becoming a church together with St Andrew’s Exwick who share a vision but are deeply rooted in loving the people around us. We can't do it alone but can do it together.

What if God had more for us than we have seen before? What if he longed to pour out his spirit on us? What if he wanted to give us gifts that would transform us and the place we go? What if God was pouring his love and his grace into our lives in a way that meant we were never the same again? And what if all we had to do was ask?
