Ebenezers In Ebbsfleet
Association of Grace Baptist Churches
In 2011 Adam and Julia Laughton moved to Gravesend to start the Gateway Project, a house-based church-planting initiative of the Association of Grace Baptist Churches (South East).
They focused particularly on building friendships in their immediate neighbourhood, seeking to grow a church group in their own home. They were joined in 2016 by Nigel and Lucy Hoad, who moved into the new Ebbsfleet Valley development.
Pastoral style - especially for Baptists
Association of Grace Baptist Churches
The style of leadership can make all the difference between a happy growing congregation and a troubled church.
The authority of Scripture is central to Baptist thinking. This authority does not lie in traditions or creeds, not even Baptist ones. Nor does it lie in any servant of God, living or dead, however respected. The Bible is God's Word to mankind today (Matthew 24.35).
