Our vision is to be a church where Jesus Christ is at the centre of all that we do as we strive to be a beacon of hope in our community.

This can be summarised in our shortened vision statement:

Christ Centred Community

To help us achieve this vision we desire to be a church that puts the following values into action:

Celebrate
Romans 12:1
We desire to be a church that freely and openly worships God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and all he has done and does do for us.
Contemplate
Romans 12:2-3
We desire to be a church that seeks to develop our relationship with God, through prayer and inquiry, and how our faith relates to the issues which affect our lives.
Collaborate
Romans 12:4-5
We desire to be a church where everyone is welcome and able to work together, as well as partnering with other organisations and groups.
Communicate
Romans 12:6-8
We desire to be a church that seeks to share the love of God in attractive, accessible and appropriate ways, showing that faith is relevant for today.
Compassionate
Romans 12:9-21
We desire to be a church that shows the love of God in practical ways, sharing and supporting our life together, in the wider community and the world.

As a church we recognise that it is not good to walk alone but to collaborate with others on the journey.  Therefore we have relationships with a number of groups and organisations.  These include:

  • Baptist Union of Great Britain
  • North West Baptist Association
  • BMS (Baptist Mission Society) World Mission
  • Southport Foodbank
  • Liverpool and District Free Church Federal Council
  • Places Of Welcome
  • Southport and Area Schools Workers Trust
  • Linaker Primary School
  • The "One Church" Network comprising of other churches across Southport
