A Vision for Church-planting
Our vision is to see Christ-centred churches planted in the UK and throughout Europe
The church requires leaders who care little about the world’s opinion if they may only please Christ; men for whom the Great Commission has such force that they will go out into the highways and hedges and compel people to come in; men who make it their aim to preach the gospel not only where Christ is already named.
The need of the hour is for men who are strong and very courageous – who, like Joshua, ‘meditate on God’s word day and night, that they may observe to do according to all that is written in it.’
Our mission is therefore to train faithful ministers who will unleash the word of God
The 'how' of faithful ministry is summed up in the words of our motto: holding fast the faithful word” (Titus 1:9). Faithful ministers will:
-
inspire confidence in the power of the scriptures: their inspiration, inerrancy, authority, sufficiency and perspicuity
-
exhort (earnestly appeal and encourage) by using sound doctrine
-
convict those who contradict
The church needs able ministers who are willing to uphold the truth and refute error – not proudly, but humbly and lovingly.
