the vision
Growing Christ-centered communities among the emerging generations of London for the glory of God.
\\ What is the Vision?
- A church planting movement -
Being part of a movement means that we won't undertake this alone. Our goal is to network with existing British ministries, churches, and young people so that, together, we have a lasting spiritual impact on London, the UK and the rest of Western Europe.
A core team will move into Camden, in north-central London, to begin the work of developing a community of God's people. Central to this first church plant will be a commitment to see more young leaders equipped to plant churches in other parts of the city.
- Among the emerging generations -
Most young people in London are without any meaningful witness to Jesus. Many of them are blindly grasping after God through New Age or Pagan spiritual practices. We want to see churches started that are filled with people who have never known Jesus before, who are now experiencing the gospel of the kingdom in terms they can both understand and experience — and who are living out of that gospel in community with His people. We don't have all the answers — what we do have is the experience of God meeting us at our point of greatest need in Jesus. We hope to allow people to see the glory and power of God displayed in our weakness as we share the struggles, sorrows, and joys of life with them.
- For the glory of God -
Our vision ultimately is for God to receive praise, glory and honor. As John Piper puts it, "Missions exists because worship doesn't." We want people who are not now worshipping God as He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ to become followers of Jesus who gather in communities to worship and adore Him. As people find their joy in God, He receives much glory.
