Purpose, Values and Vision

Preface

As a predominantly Anglican Society of evangelists, we value our heritage within the Anglican Church. The development of our ministry in the future will involve us both within and beyond the Anglican Church.

Note: This film is 21 minutes in length.

Purpose

Church Army exists to enable people to come to living faith in Jesus Christ.

Values

We will seek to follow our values in all that we do.

• Listening to God: We take the time to be open to God, willing to listen and open to change.
• Respect: We recognise that all people are created in the image of God and that all people are valued equally by God.
• Professionalism: We strive for the highest standards in all that we do.
• Partnership: We are part of the Christian community, called to work with each other, with compatible agencies and with the wider church.

Words and action: We are committed to sharing the Christian faith through words and action.

The values espoused are organisational/corporate values and not those of an individual. Individual values are set out in the Rule of Life (for evangelists) and the Personal Way of Life (for members). There are many other values not included as they are taken as read.

Vision

To be a leading organisation in the training, equipping and deploying of evangelists, to develop appropriate and relevant forms of Christian community for pioneering situations.
