Our vision is to see lives transformed, every day, across the bay.
God has called us to demonstrate the love of Jesus in the everyday. We are transformed by His grace, to bring His kingdom transformation to the lives and the culture around us.
We are inspired by the early church and their amazing community, mission focus and rapid expansion. It is also a challenge as we read of the supernatural power of God at work through ordinary people, but this is normal Christianity and should be our story too.
Presence, Purpose, Power!
Our strategy to help bring about our vision hangs around 3 Ps; Presence, Purpose & Power. This is our “DNA” and should be evident in every meeting and every transformed life.
Encounter God’s Presence
Declaring God’s truth and grace without compromise.
Unashamed worship and use of spiritual gifts.
Being a people of prayer who expect the extraordinary.
Be transformed for his Purpose
Making disciples and becoming more like Jesus, in word and action.
An authentic community, a place for you and your gifts in our groups, meetings and sites.
Empowering and equipping courageous leadership to impact every sphere of life.
Be released in his Power
Adventuring on mission together, sharing and demonstrating the good news of Jesus.
Offering hope and restoration to all, particularly the next generation and the poor.
A generous resource base, having reach and influence in Bournemouth and beyond.
It’s God who brings the change, and we get to partner with him in the greatest adventure.
Our culture
The primary way that we will see our vision become a reality is by being a people that reflect Jesus. This is why we’ve intentionally identified the culture of Citygate and will seek to help one another live it out.
