Leaving a big church?

These days church planting and revitalisation are, rightly, on the agenda for us.

There are areas of the country without a Bible-believing, witnessing church and many small congregations are struggling. 25 years ago our congregation was invited to get involved in seeking to set a dying church in the town back on its feet. It was in a bad way and it took much encouragement to motivate our folk to take up the challenge. But four brave families along with some others took the plunge and launched out, trusting in God.

In God’s goodness it worked. After a few years and humble beginnings, it was able to come out from being under our wing and to stand independent. It has not been plain sailing and still isn’t, but it has seen some years of blessing.
