grounded in the Scriptures, and exists to love and honour God through faith in His Son and by the power
of His Spirit, and to enable her members to play their part in fulfilling God's mission to our world.
The congregation's mission purpose is."
We are a people aiming to be a dynamic church dedicated to building up disciples and presenting the
love of Jesus Christ to our community and the wider world.
Our vision is, by the grace of God, to be an inclusive. welcoming community of Chrisys people of all
ages, which:
is increasingly characterised by love for God, and love and concern for others;
is committed to the historic Christian gospel as revealed in the Bible;

The congregation aims to live out its Mission and Vision as a family of God's people by being..
A Covenant Community- where our relationships are rooted in the promises of God by living
faithfully toward him and toward one another
An Intergenerational Community: where adults intentionally take the lead to engage with,
encourage and nurture younger members to maturity in Christ.
An Outward looking Community: where we want the blessings of God that belong to us in the
gospel to become blessings for others beyond the bounds of our community.
As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, we believe that the Bible is the supreme
authority over all we do, and that the Westminster Confession of Faith, along with the Larger and

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland meets the public benefit requirement by providing benefit to its
members and the general public by making known the Christian Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ through
the advancement of religion.
The direct benefits which flow from the purposes of the Church include the gaining of an understanding
in Christian beliefs as set out in the Bible and in the Church's subordinate standards (the Westminster
Confession of Faith and the Shorter and Larger Catechisrns) leading to spiritual and moral development
and opportunities for response to Bible teaching. In turn, this framework leads to practical expressions
of Christian beliefs and standards in the local community such as through the care of those in need
(including the sick, disabled and bereaved).
Generally, the above benefits are delivered locally by congregations and their members, or are
facilitated through Presbyteries or are organised and delivered centrally. Local delivery is facilitated by
central resources in almost all cases. Public access is made known through the use of noticeboards,
printed material, press advertisement, websites, and social media or in other ways.
The benefits are demonstrated through regular evaluation of the services and informal and ad-hoc
feedback from members, their families, and members of the public.
The purpose does not lead to harm. The only private benefit flowing from our purpose is related to
Ministers, Missionaries, Deaconesses, Irish Mission workers and Lay Agents who receive benefits as a
result of their holding office or employment. However, this is incidental and necessary in order to
further our charitable purpose. There are no other private benefits. The beneficiaries of this purpose are
members, their families, other individuals that the Presbyterian Church in Ireland is in direct and indirect
contact with, the community in which pastoral services are provided and other communities throughout
Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and worldwide which benefit from our engagement with and
support for both Christian and other secular organisations, charities and individual members of the
public.
The Kirk Session has had regard to the Charity Commissions Publ(c benefit requirement statutory
guidance.
