Our Vision is to grow the Church and extend the Kingdom into all areas of our lives: our work and play, our family life, our friendships, our hobbies and activities, our involvement in our community.
We want to extend the grace of God and the reality of His Kingdom into Churchstoke and beyond.
We pray every Friday for our community. We visit new people in the village and make contact with new families. We visit the elderly and infirm and have strong links with St Nick’s Residential Home where we lead services of worship every month. Six residents and three staff there are regular worshippers at our church.
We support our local school by teaching Bible stories in school, running Experience Easter, leading services of pretend weddings and baptisms for school and nursery. We give Bibles and teaching to all our school leavers, work with staff for Harvest Festival and invite interaction by involving children in the key festivals of the church.
We have strong links with Churchstoke Shopping Centre and our priest offers a Chaplaincy Service to staff and shoppers. We have also run stalls for prayers and blessings in the shopping centre.
We lead a vibrant Bible-based youth group – IGNITE – and have done for the last 10 years. It has currently 15 regular teenagers.
We run Kidz Klub every other week for younger children and are delighted by their enthusiasm when they come to the front for ‘show and tell’.
We believe that if we invite Jesus to come in to any area of our lives He will come.. and He will change things .. for the better!
For His is the Kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen!
