VALUES

Threshold made up of different communities of people who do life together in Jesus, seeking to know His presence in the villages around Lincoln. We have seven values that we passionately pursue and guard:

1. The presence of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We value the one true God who lives eternally in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We value the written Word of God and its authority over our lives.

2. Reflecting God’s heart for and mission to those who don’t know Him.

As a church we believe we are called to stand on the threshold of communities and make it easier for people to find God amongst them. We encourage each person to pursue the call that God has on their lives. We encourage creativity in our approach to living out our faith, and pursue a way of church that is local and ordinary; village, street, hearth and table.

3. Children, young people, and young adults

We want to create environments in which children and young people can flourish in their faith, and make a positive contribution to the world around them. We want to equip children to be confident in their uniqueness, creative in their approach to life, and passionate about hearing the Holy Spirit and pursuing the presence of God.

4. Unity between Christians and churches

We believe the Kingdom of God advances quickest when churches work together. We value unity and encourage different churches to pray together for their locations.

5. Hospitality

We welcome everyone. We value hospitality in our households and communities. We value being welcoming, informal, and contemporary when we gather together in larger numbers.

6. Generosity

We want to be a generous people, showing the love of Jesus through the way we use our time, gifts and money. We want to be generous to our local communities and to those we are in relationship with oversees. We value creativity in the way in which we invest ourselves to other Christians and to those who do not believe.

 

7. Creativity

Creativity is a big thing in Threshold! We love to explore our faith through art, song, and drama.
