Our values

Based on Jesus’ prayer for his disciples in John 17, we believe that, as a church, God has called us at St Sebastian's to be:

Christ-centred	Not ‘Jesus and…’, but Jesus alone at the centre of our lives. ' ... glory has come to me through them …’ (John 17:10)
Righteous	God-directed living, thinking, and speaking. ‘Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.' (John 17:17)
One	Not ‘I’ve won!’, but ‘We are one.' ‘… that they may be one as we are one …’ (John 17:22)
Sent	A serving church rather than a consumer church. ‘As you sent me into the world, I have sent them …’ (John 17:18)
Spirit-filled	All God’s people using God’s gifts to the full. '… so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them …’ (John 17:13)
