Vision and Values

Locking Castle Church was planted in the 1990s as an Ecumenical partnership, which is a joint project of the Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and URC churches, with the intention of ‘sharing in the ministry of Christ to the world’.

Weston-super-Mare is set to become the largest town in North Somerset, with a population growing to over 100,000 people over the next decade, so LCC has a unique calling and opportunity to grow the kingdom of God, see souls saved and communities transformed in this locality and beyond. With its strategic position at the gateway to the town LCC is called to pioneer new initiatives, reach out to the surrounding estates and be a resourcing church, known for its love, unity and generosity.

Our purpose

Our purpose as a church is Our purpose as a church is to be a loving community that is growing by sharing Jesus, the beacon of hope for everyone. We do this with reliance on the Holy Spirit, through prayer and practising what we preach.

Our priorities

In light of our purpose, our discipleship priorities are Loving and Sharing with Growing the positive outcome

Loving

Loving is what we aspire to do as followers of Jesus. Loving God (UP) Loving each other (IN) and Loving others (OUT). Here at Locking Castle Church, we endeavour to Love; everyone is welcomed, accepted and celebrated for who they are.  A place of safety and well-being where people can find their identity and purpose in Jesus.

(Romans 12:10-13)

Growing

Healthy churches grow. We believe that growth is a (super)natural outcome of people following Jesus (being a disciple/apprentice). Jesus assures us that he is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

(John 14:6)

Sharing

Sharing is what we desire to do as disciples, it means to put love (God’s love) into practice. Love in action, love in our community, love on our front lines, wherever that might be. Love is to shape all we do and hope to do in this world through the power of the Holy Spirit.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
