COGGES: Cogges Parochial Church Council

Our Purpose and Priorities


Our Purpose

To make Christ known by word and deed:

  • through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ
  • through a deepening relationship with one another
  • through a commitment to the needs of the parish

Our Priorities

The Bible
We aim to teach the Bible in such a way that it transforms lives and influences positively the way we view God's world.

Prayer
Prayer changes things and is the key to our personal spiritual growth. Prayer underpins the whole life and ministry of the Church

Worship
We express our love for God collectively in worship. Where God's people meet, Christ dwells and we expect a real and dynamic experience of His presence through the power of The Holy Spirit.

Fellowship
Fellowship is fundamental to our Christian lives. We commit ourselves to developing deep, caring relationships in which small groups play a significant part.

Community
We are committed to the community around us and want to demonstrate the Father's love. Our community needs to see the proof of what we say we believe. This means faith with works is essential if our witness is to be credible.

In all these, we rely on the Holy Spirit, and encourage one another, young and old, to experience and increase in His fruit, power and gifts, which we affirm as signs that the Kingdom of God is amongst us.
