New Frontiers in Edenbridge

At the opening

A group of 80 gathered for the first service of Grace Community Church Edenbridge on 26 September.

Lots of encouragement was given to the group of Christians who are helping plant the church from surrounding New Frontiers (NF) churches, part of the Regions Beyond group within the wider network of NF churches. People have moved into the area to become part of the community and have started running a Saturday club for children which had, at the launch of the church, already seen some new friendships formed through the Laser Light club meeting in the local Leisure Centre.

Unchanging message

The sermon given to the church on its first day talked of the unchanging message of the Bible. No matter where in the world the gospel is preached, the transforming power of Jesus to change lives is still the same. Although the church is modern, the saving message of God is the same. He wants his church to reach out everywhere. The people were encouraged not to be discouraged at how insignificant they were, because it’s the faith of ordinary people in an extraordinary God that will see the church grow.
