Community
The people of St James:

• work to ensure that all are welcome; those who have had too much of church in the past, those who are checking it out for the first time and all those in between
• are an inclusive community offering friendship and fellowship to those travelling as companions on the Christian journey, whatever the stage
• share in and support the highs and lows of individual lives and of the community.

Challenge
The people of St James:

• look for growth in our Christian life while trying to follow the example of Jesus
• expect to be inspired and challenged by the Spirit on issues within their lives as individuals and as a church
• recognise that the Christian life is a journey in which insights and growth are shared with our companions on the road.

Spirituality
The people of St James:

• seek to encounter God through worship, engaging with the Bible and in prayer
• are a worshipping community who share the Christian journey in celebration and sorrow and in the breaking and sharing of the bread and the wine
• seek to grow together in small groups and daily prayer.

Service
The people of St James:

• believe that faith is not just for Sundays but changes the whole of our lives and the whole of our society
• partner with the people of Bishopbriggs in cultivating a dynamic and strong community
• engage generously with, and campaign with other partners for, trade and social justice and the fight against poverty and loneliness
• are committed to working together with other Christians.
