The Aims of St. James Woodside

To be a true expression of the Body of Christ:
Being a people who are happy to base their life, work and witness on the bible (knowing Jesus), and are committed to offer worship that is both reverent and pleasing to God and lively and edifying to man; concerned to build a loving worshipping community that will commend the gospel to others.

To fulfill the commands of Jesus Christ, to proclaim the gospel and make disciples:
(making Him known), as a corporate activity this task is done primarily within the parish boundaries of Woodside, but every member of the church should be encouraged to see his or her family, local neighbourhood and place of work as the mission field.

To work for justice and peace in the local community and the world:
In a discourse with his disciples Jesus pointed out he had come to serve and not to be served; the spiritual, physicall, and emotional needs of mankind were the concern of Jesus, and they should be the concern of all Christians. Jesus had compassion for the people, so should we!

To work in collaboration with other churches and societies:
This requires both giving and receiving so that the gospel may be proclaimed as Jesus commanded, even to the end of the earth for this is the only way God's Kingdom will be established everywhere.
