Congregations developing open, hospitable, welcoming approaches to day-to-day communal life, liturgy and worship.
We think it’s possible to be a church without being defensive or closed-minded. The Holy Spirit works as much beyond the church as within it - we look for God at work and join in.
God wants us to live before death as well as after.
HeartEdge is about deepening and widening the congregation.

Engaging local need and addressing social justice.
We do unbelievable things when we start with our assets rather than deficits.
It’s possible to be compassionate with those excluded or in trouble, in a way that enhances community.
Care comes not from altruism but recognition of our own need, and desire to be transformed by the strangers God sends us.

Visual and performing art and ideas, re-imagining the Christian narrative for the present moment.
Exploring new avenues of arts from expand and encourage new cultures within church and the community.

Commercial activity generating finance, creatively extending and enhancing mission.
We think it is possible to have commercial activities available within Church that demonstrates a wider understanding of the Faith.
By allowing our assets - likes buildings and facilities - to broaden and appeal to a larger market we remain at the centre of our community, valued and considered by all.
