Our Vision Statement expresses the main emphases of our SVB ministry.
Our Diocese
The Sodbury Vale Benefice churches are part of the Diocese of Gloucester and enjoy a mutually close working relationship.
Our Hope
Described as The Hope of the World Jesus has commanded us to spread the good news – just as he commanded St Paul:
I am sending you to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they might receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me (Acts 26:18)
As a Benefice we believe wholeheartedly in this Hope and want to share it with others so that they might enjoy the blessings too.
