    We value the Bible as God’s Word, through which, by the power of the Holy Spirit, he reveals himself and teaches us all we need for faith and eternal life.
  • Prayer
    we value God’s gift of prayer, by which we are commanded and invited to ask for his mercy and blessing, as we seek to serve him.
  • Participation
    We value the contribution of each member of our Christian family, as together we seek to carry out our mission.
  • Discipleship
    We value growing in the likeness of Jesus within the body of believers and the calling of, those from all generations without Jesus, to join us in trusting him.
  • Christian Family
    We value our Christian family where we, together, care for each other and are each encouraged to use our gifts for God’s glory. We recognize the importance of nurturing the faith of the children and youth God has given us, that they may grow to love and serve him.

VISION STATEMENT

The Miles-Roma Presbyterian Church will, together, prayerfully seek God’s lead in pursuing: sustainable ministry, growth in relationship with Jesus, growing relationships within the Christian family, and confronting people with the gospel.

We seek, in submission to Christ, to achieve the following vision elements within five years.

  • Prayer
    Consciously depend on our heavenly father for all things and daily bring all things before him in private and corporate prayer.
  • Develop sustainable ministry
    Ensure the property, financial, and human resources of the Miles-Roma charge are wisely managed for kingdom growth.
  • Growth
    Promote growing relationships with Jesus and nurture the next generation in developing personal faith. Encourage Christlike relationships within the body of believers.
  • Evangelism
    Obey the great commission by every member, every day, seeking to share the gospel with at least one non-Christian.
  • Roma replant
    Develop and implement strategies for a church replant at Roma to become a centre for sending gospel workers into southwest Queensland.
