Partnership in Mission

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples”. Psalm 96 v 3

God has always declared himself a God of mission and as Christians we delight to share with others the Gospel – the good news about hope of salvation and restoration through what Jesus has done (see What we believe), and to work showing his love and compassion to people who are in need – in our community, our country and throughout the world.

We have close links with a number of agencies and individuals who do this work or are facilitators in it as shown below. We encourage active participation and several church members are involved here in the UK, and some take regular short term overseas trips to help in their work.
