As a church we are committed to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ for the glory of God (Matthew 28:19-20). As part of that we support gospel work at home and abroad. We want to encourage individual members of the Church family to see themselves as active supporters of missionaries and to involve themselves through prayer, communication and other practical means.
To enable this we have a Mission Group who:
· promote communication with the church family as widely as possible
· play a part in developing and maintaining support for present and future missionary work
Below is a list of the people and organizations we are currently supporting. Copies of their prayer letters are available in church on Sunday. We are all called to serve in mission either as a goer or a sender. We can get involved by praying for those we support, keeping in touch, funding the work and participating in mission.
