The Mission statement for our Church :
“To live with the presence of God in our hearts and loving kindness in our lives.”
Our vision for Dalby Church:
“To live with the presence of God in our hearts and loving kindness in our lives.”
Our vision for Dalby Church:
- To know the Source of all love in God and to share that love with our neighbour
- To be a light in the community; a gateway to the presence of God: to welcome all people and all ages to come to know God and to encourage and deepen an interest in Spiritual awareness: a place of love, laughter and open hospitality, where we can grow together and develop our gifts and abilities through worship, unity and fellowship.
- To develop Christian Knowledge: equipping our members to love and serve the Lord: for adults and children to come to know of God through Jesus and to deepen their own personal relationship with God; to be a place of learning, love, faith, hope and prayer.
- To maintain a sacred building and provide an environment of worship and prayer, sanctuary, peace, assurance & hope in a changing world.
- To foster community: creating unity though sharing ideas, empowering others, providing support, facilities and a meeting place for the whole community; a place where people can gather in a safe, friendly, moral and ethical environment.
- To encourage fellowship, welcoming everyone of all ages, beliefs and culture so that they feel involved and part of our community; developing friendship and support to all in need, both mentally, physically and spiritually
- To demonstrate Christian principles of seeking justice and equality for all through promoting a change in financial practice and a love for Gods creation through developing sustainable life styles.
- To maintain our shared culture, Manx heritage and traditions
- To put our words into action through our commitment to the Faritrade movement and the Eco Church initiative.
Our local Church steering group (The LCC) meet once a month to oversee the mission and outreach of our church, to develop community initiatives and report to and liaise with the Parochial Church Council of the Parish of the West Coast.
Safe Guarding : as a church we are committed to maintaining good safeguarding policy and awareness through all our church worship and events, social activity and outreach.
We also have "The Friends" : an amazing group of Church and community members who work together to host at least one social event every month, to help maintain our on-going building projects and overall restoration of the church building.
As a Parish church we’re licensed for weddings, funerals, baptisms and thanks giving services for the birth of a child. Please do get in touch with Cheryl if you would like more details or to book a date!
The schoolrooms are available for hire for meetings, parties and functions: if you’d like more information please email: St James, Dalby
