Our Vision
- We are a network of churches working together on mission, so that everyone in our town knows the love of God and love of community.
- But we’re not just for churches. We collaborate with schools, businesses, charities and local government too, so that together we can make the greatest difference.
Why are we called Netmakers?
- We believe in the importance of network. This means that no one is at the top (a hierarchy) or in the middle (hub & spoke). Everyone is important, everyone can get involved, everyone belongs.
- Our role is to “make the net”. In other words, we create connections between people so that they can work together rather than alone. As a result, we hope to see systemic change for good in our community.
- In the Bible, fishing nets are a metaphor for mission, so that fits nicely too!
- We love this African Proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together!”
