An increasing number of churches are faced with challenges on the state of their buildings and the need for expansion as the Lord blesses their ministry.
Many were built a century or more ago when there was a growth in church attendance. Our churches today are facing a new period of growth, that is, in the Bible-centred, gospel churches. We are engaged in new approaches to evangelism amongst the youth and adults. How do we respond to this opportunity?
This was the challenge facing Chertsey Street Baptist Church, a Grace Baptist church in Guildford. Having completed this project (that is, the rebuilding phase) and having experienced God’s blessing in this effort, there are lessons which may be worth sharing.
