About Us

We’re a group of people seeking to live the Jesus life together. Our mission is 'Inviting and equipping people to be apprentices of Jesus; being formed by Him to be a visible presence of renewal where He has placed us'. We would love you to join us and find family as we follow Jesus together. 

OUR VALUES. Values Matter to us at Redland. What we value shapes who we become and what we do. Our values articulate something of who we are but also some of what we want to be. Our hope is in stating them they give us a target to aim for and hold ourselves accountable to.

BEING WITH JESUS. We long to be with and abide in Jesus in everything, and so we actively take time, in all we do, to become aware of His presence with us. Spending time with Jesus is the core of everything; it is in Him alone we know the living God.

DEEP FORMATION. We want to allow Jesus to shape who we are and also the people we are becoming. We seek to deeply develop our relationship with Him and attend to the deeper, slow work of formation such that we might become people who are an increasing blessing in this world.

COURAGEOUS VULNERABILITY. We seek to be people that journey with Jesus together. We want to be real with one another admitting our weakness and need for God. We seek to create a culture of trust and love where we can be courageously vulnerable as this enables us to support each other, grow together as followers of Jesus and better serve the world in love.

WHOLE LIFE MISSION. Personal and corporate, locally and globally, in word and action we want to embody what it looks like for Jesus to be in charge in every area of life.

GROWING FAMILY. We love to cultivate community that feels and behaves like a loving family. We want to be the kind of family that creates relational space for others to join and is willing to adapt and reach out to those on the margins.

NEXT GEN CONSCIOUS. We want to be a church of all ages, for all ages. The next generation will always require a different kind of engagement to those who have gone before. We want to continually engage with future generations, shaping our community so all ages can belong. This will mean creating space at the leadership table for younger voices and an intentional focus on kids and youth ministry.

OUR FAMILY. Redland Church is a part of the Church of England within the Diocese of Bristol.
