Three new church plants are getting under-way in Yorkshire, England’s biggest county, with support of Gospel Yorkshire:
Christ Church Central Leeds is a new Bible-teaching church in the centre of the city. In April, the International Presbyterian Church sent Jonty Rhodes from a previous plant in Derby to begin a new congregation in Leeds. A team of a dozen adults and eight children are in the process of moving up from Derby to join ten others already here. They are currently meeting midweek and have booked Yorkshire Dance as a central venue for Sunday services, starting in September.
Scarborough
Trinity Church Scarborough has been meeting since 14 May, and they have been encouraged by the start the Lord has given. New people have come every week. They have started an evangelism training course, and have seen the majority of the church sign up for Growth Groups. They are proactively seeking to raise the profile of the church and make connections with local people.
