Cumbria Vision Day

John Stevens speaking

Leaders from evangelical churches across Cumbria met for a Vision Day in June to consider prayerfully how to reach more people in the county with the gospel.

Facilitated by the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), more than 30 leaders gathered to consider ways they might work in partnership to help reach Cumbria for Christ.

Rapid decline

John Stevens spoke from Matthew 9:36-38. He presented the gospel need in the context of the national scene. He highlighted some statistics from The Churches Trust for Cumbria which showed that among the main denominational churches the average congregation is approximately 20 people. These churches are in rapid decline, with half of those attending more than 70 years old and only one in 14 attenders under the age of 18.
