Lifelink 

Values

The values of Lifelink define how we work together to achieve our vision.  They are the guiding principles that ensure the decisions we make are in line with our beliefs and not in response to pressures, habits or fears.  The values we adhere to as Lifelink Churches Working Together are all hallmarks found in a healthy church community that is flourishing and thriving in the best of all God has intended.  These values are at the very heart of Churches Working Together and keep us moving forward in the right direction.

Below you will find the values we see as the fundamental traits of Lifelink. 

Servanthood Ministry
Leadership in the church is only leadership as God intended when it takes up the basin and towel.
Life Joint Relationships
Our relationships should always encourage a healthy flow of exchange and bring out the best in each other.

Accountability
When we are awakened to a greater sense of responsibility for one another there is no room for independent power structures.
Inclusive Partnership
Co-operating together rather than competing in an atmosphere of mutual respect and the promotion of each others' gifting is key to growing together.
Consensus Leadership
Consensus leadership is something quite different to democracy. It is the willingness to create an environment in which we can all stand on level ground.
The Power of Testimony
Every Christian has a testimony; we need to be ready and willing to share and allow others to marvel at God's grace.
Bridge Building
There is much to be done to form meaningful bonds with other Christians and encourage greater unity in the worldwide church just as God intended.
Godly Character
Developing and maintaining a godly character is indispensable emphasising absolute integrity in all that is said and done.
Releasing and Empowering

Jesus invented the notion of empowering by providing gifted people in the church to equip his people.
Resource Sharing
There is a high value and benefit in the collective use of resources, taking initiative to be a blessing with our resources to the wider community.
World Wide Vision

God’s intention is to bring into being a people whose interest and concern for His purpose would reach to the far corners of the world.
