Conscious of the gifts that we have received as members of the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church in South East Northumberland, and eager to further that mission in our own time and place, we declare together our readiness to commit ourselves to each other under God. Our earnest desire is to work more closely with one another and with all Christian people that together we may become, in God's own time, the one Church of Christ, united in faith, communion, pastoral care and mission.
