St Bart's and St Stephen's Purpose Statement As an open and prayerful community, it is our desire to know and encounter God's love in deeper ways and to grow in our response to that love. Challenging each other to become more like Christ and through living out the values of the Kingdom of God we will look to create and develop a network of loving relationships where people can be transformed by encountering Jesus. And we will seek to serve our neighbour, prayerfully expecting God to be at work by following God's lead.
