A Place of Belonging
Accessibility is important. Inclusion is even better. But at Satellites, we want to create a place of belonging for everyone.
One of the core values of Satellites is family. We believe that through Jesus, God invites all of us to be a part of his global, history spanning family, which is the church. We believe that this invitation is equally open to everyone, regardless of their race, nationality, gender, disabilities, sexuality, age, social class and political views.
We believe that this family is the best possible context to experience life in all its fullness (John 10 v 10); a place where can we both know God together as his people, and equip each other to know him individually. In this family we form our identity in, and allegiance to, Jesus. We place God at the centre of our lives, and at the centre of our community.
We also believe that Jesus calls us to actively invite all people to join and participate in this family. We acknowledge that we - the church - have not always been so good at this. So we want to make sure that our family dinner table is always big enough for another person to join it.
Access, not barriers. Inclusion, not exclusivity. Love, not judgement. Belonging, not superficiality. At Satellites, all are welcome to join the family
