It was with great joy that the members and supporters of King’s Church Guildford met on 9 May for a Service of Thanksgiving and Commissioning.
Around 150 people from near and far gathered in the Boxgrove Primary School hall, where the church meets every Sunday afternoon, to give thanks to God for his great goodness in the early months of the establishing and development of the church. It was also an opportunity to pray for and commission the leadership of the church and in particular the pastor.
God provides
King’s Church started from scratch last September with the vision of ‘building God’s church with God’s Word for God’s glory’. Since then, the Lord has grown the church family both spiritually and numerically and he has provided all they have needed, when they have needed it. Pastor Richard Leadbeater said: ‘It has been a great joy and privilege to be part of what the Lord is doing. It was a real encouragement to praise God together with so many gospel partners at the Thanksgiving Service. We have seen first hand that “nothing is impossible with God” and that the Lord “will build his church”.’
