Mission Statement
“As a local initiative of the global Street Pastor movement, our mission is to engage, train and mobilise Christian volunteers from different churches to be relevant in public life as salt and light addressing issues of vulnerability and social exclusion through the principles of caring, listening and helping people. We work in partnership with the police, local authorities and other voluntary organisations to achieve our goals and attain greater social cohesion in our community”. Core Values
The Street Pastor movement embraces Christians from a range of denominations with a passion for Jesus and for the betterment of the community, who adhere to the five foundational core values:
a) The sacredness and sanctity of human life
b) Valuing and honouring the community
c) Being a person of integrity
d) Taking personal responsibility
e) Promoting the growth and development of the individual to their fullest potential
Ethos
a) Primarily, a Street Pastor’s role is not to preach or evangelise, but to be the gospel, though they should always be ready to share their faith if invited to do so. A Street Pastor’s calling is to listen, care and provide practical help on a non-judgmental basis to anyone they meet on the streets of a local area. b) Street Pastors should help and support anyone and everyone without discrimination on grounds of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, political persuasion or any other reason. c) Street Pastors should conduct themselves in a manner reflective of the compassion and dignity of Christ; use common sense and good judgement; and refrain from any conduct or activity which is illegal, unethical, inappropriate or otherwise damaging to the reputation of Street Pastors. Street Pastors should not express views, use language or display materials which other people might reasonable find offensive. d) Street Pastors should respect and be courteous towards those with whom they work, stakeholders, those they help and the general public. In particular, Street Pastors should respect differences in custom, culture and religion and accommodate those differences as far as possible in the delivery of our services
