Who we are
Our vision
“I tell you the truth, unless a grain of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new seeds — a plentiful harvest of new lives.”
Vision
Our Vision
As Jesus followers we are invited into His life, His story, and His mission.
It is a story of multiplication: 1 became 12; 12 became 120; 120 became 3,000.
And today there are 2.2 billion Christians on the planet, with 5.8 billion people needing to encounter and accept Jesus.
In Orangefield, we continue to hunger for God’s Presence; we read our Bibles, we care for one another and we love our neighbours.
As we journey towards April 2033, when we will celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of Jesus’ resurrection, our goal must be multiplication — disciples making disciples, churches planting churches.
And so we set out…
Together with Jesus, bringing life to Belfast and the nations.
This season
Our four priorities
Priority 2
Spiritual Formation
Becoming more like Jesus through our gathered and individual rhythms, and intentionally raising up others as disciple-makers.
Priority 3
Compassionate Giving
Supporting and blessing individuals and communities at home and around the world through radical service and generosity.
Priority 4
Courageous Pioneering
Practising innovation, creativity and partnership as we equip God’s people to walk in the Spirit and see His Kingdom come.
In context
Rooted in our story
These priorities are uniquely rooted in the story God has been telling in Orangefield for over 80 years.
They reflect much of who we are and what we do, and as the cultural and spiritual landscape of Belfast and Northern Ireland changes, these are the things God is calling us to embody with a new imagination and intensity, as we partner with His Spirit in telling and living the gospel in a world that is lost and anxious.
