We are a community of believers following Jesus together within our community of Long Ashton.
As a church we want to grow in our relationship with God and to invite other people to discover Him for themselves. We believe that God revealed Himself in the life of Jesus to make all this possible. We are evangelical Christians and this means that the Bible is the basis to everything we believe and teach and that we depend on the empowering of his Holy Spirit who lives within each Christian. We aim to be a church where all people can feel welcome and can know that they 'belong'.
We are a church made up of people who mostly live in the village. Life these days is fragmented: we live in one place, work in another and worship God in yet another. At Hebron we choose to worship and serve God together in the village where we live and be "community in the community" rather than commute to church. Consequently, Christians at Hebron are from many different church backgrounds and denominations -
Our vision is:
We long to encounter Jesus personally by his Spirit and through the written Word of God.
We long that many others in Long Ashton will encounter him too, across all ages, backgrounds and experiences.
As we do so, we believe he offers each of us joy, forgiveness, healing, hope and purpose for our lives.
Word:
We believe the Bible is God's definitive revelation of his identity and purpose for all creation, including for our individual lives.
Spirit:
We welcome, expect and seek the presence, power and revelation of the Holy Spirit amongst us.
Community:
We treasure our relationships with each other, united in Jesus; and we seek to serve and participate in our local community of Long Ashton.
Walking closely with Jesus in prayer, worship, his written Word and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Walking closely with each other in knowing one another deeply, serving each other and cultivating authentic relationships that help each of us in our walk with Jesus.
Walking closely with the people of Long Ashton, seeking the coming of God's Kingdom in our community, meeting practical and spiritual needs, helping people come to know Jesus as Saviour and by working closely with the wider church locally and globally.
