About·Our goals

Trevor and Yvette Botha (right) will lead the Gent church plant

For this year, we believe the Holy Spirit is leading us to be rooted and grounded in Jesus, to be fully alive in Him and to overflow for the world to see Him in and through us:

“My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.” – Col 2:6-7 (Message)

Our goals for 2010

As part of our 10+10+10 by 2020 strategy (10 congregations in greater London, churches in 10 cities in the UK/Ireland, and churches in 10 Western European nations) we plan to:

  1. Launch a new greater London congregation in Brentwood, Essex (led by Charl and Anina Chapman, who have handed over leadership of our Stratford congregation to Andrew and Berna Holmes)
  2. Plant a new church in Gent, Belgium church in summer 2010 (led by Trevor and Yvette Botha, who will be handing over leadership of our Slough congregation to Greg and Suzanne Albrecht)

Locally, we aim to:

  1. Launch an easily accessible online Bible School, with video broadcasts of all lectures, by Easter
