In a powerful display of unity, the four main evangelical groups within the Church of Ireland (COI) came together in April for a day of worship, teaching and prayer.
Ministry collective First Things hosted the gathering, inviting evangelicals from New Wine, Church of Ireland Evangelical Fellowship, Southern Anglican Fellowship of Evangelicals and Evangelical Fellowship of Irish Clergy to St Johns Parish Centre in Moira, Craigavon on 27 April. They were thrilled to see over 350 people from across the groups come along.
Spread the gospel
In between times of worship, those attending enjoyed teaching from 2 Timothy by Archbishop Justin Badi from South Sudan, sessions lead by Canon John McGinley on looking to the future with hope, and a final message by Justin Badi on the missional and evangelical heritage of the Church of Ireland.
