We are a church which welcomes and values people whatever their culture, gender, age, ethnicity and sexuality. We are a community who have different histories and have been on different journeys to arrive to where we are today.
Our logo is a messy rainbow cross made up of many coloured squares. At first glance, it might look a little untidy — and that’s intentional.
The cross is at the centre, reflecting our shared focus: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the heart of our faith.
The many colours represent the diverse ways we each come to and live out our faith in Jesus. Each colour speaks to the different stories, backgrounds, and experiences we bring. Just as no two lives are the same, neither are the paths we walk in faith.
The messy, uneven squares show that our lives — like the shapes in the logo — aren’t always neat or tidy. We come with brokenness, questions, and imperfect stories. And yet, we’re still part of something beautiful.
At the very centre of the cross is a heart — a symbol of the deep, abiding love of God for the world. This love is what unites us, transforms us, and holds us together in all our diversity.
Together, this messy, colourful cross tells the story of a community centred on Jesus, shaped by grace, and alive with the love of God.
Mission Statement
Being Christians affects every area of our lives. Our relationships both at home and in our neighbourhoods, both with friends and colleagues are all influenced by our faith in Jesus Christ.
God calls us to worship him. At Brandon we meet together to remind ourselves that Jesus is Lord and that we are his followers. We remember his life, death and resurrection, and we reaffirm our allegiance to His cause.
We believe that everybody is equal in the sight of God. We aim to be a church in which people feel supported, loved and at home.
Society tends to group people according to their age, background and race. We aim to be seen as one family, in which all are treated with dignity and respect.
Every Christian has been given gifts by God. We want people to use and develop their abilities, and we will encourage them to do so.
All Christians are called to serve God. We encourage them to do this, both through church activities and in their wider community.
We believe that God is angered by injustice and inequality. We aim to care for those who are victims, and to strive for a more godly society.
We recognise that God’s work is not only done through Christians. He is at work through people of goodwill who also embrace His concerns.
We respect the sincerity of people of other faiths, and those with no faith, but we are convinced that the Lord Jesus is the last and complete demonstration to the world of God’s love and truth.
We believe that Jesus wants more people to experience the life that God always intended for His world. We aim to bring that about by living and proclaiming His message, and by encouraging people to respond by becoming His disciples.
