As part of The Church of Scotland, Newington trinity Church seeks to inspire the people of Scotland and beyond with the Good News of Jesus Christ through enthusiastic worshipping, witnessing, nurturing and serving communities. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are sent into the world to live our lives inspired by his teachings and love, to bring that love into all aspects of society.

Five Marks of Mission
The General Assembly of October 2020 endorsed the Five Marks of Mission:

  1. To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
  2. To teach, baptise and nurture new believers
  3. To respond to human need by loving service
  4. To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation
  5. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

An alternative definition of the Five Marks of Mission created by the Anglican Board of Mission in Australia in 2013

  1. Witness to Christ's saving, forgiving, reconciling love for all people
  2. Build welcoming, transforming communities of faith
  3. Stand in solidarity with the poor and needy
  4. Challenge violence, injustice and oppression, and work for peace and reconciliation
  5. Protect, care for and renew life on our planet
