Well I am thrilled to be able to report that this weekend's was a tremendous success. Thank you so much to all those who worked so tirelessly to make it such a special event, Thank you. If you were with us you will know that we launched the new church on Sunday. The new church is called Grace London. The new name and the stated values really reflect the heart of the ministry. Grace East, served us well but it was a legacy name and the new name and brand that you will see over the next month or so captures the heartbeat of what God is doing in our midst.
Grace London is unashamedly a church - a church with a difference. the difference is that the people who are part of it are free to be who they really are in Christ. they get better, they live better and they make others better. At grace London we realize that a church is a reflection of the spirit and attitude of the people in the church – you cant build a church you build people. People build the church. That’s the difference.
the vision of the church is to become what it calls the best church in the world. a statement like that demands a little qualification. in seeking to become the best it is not implying that another ministry is worse or not as good. nobody can imitate what the Spirit of God is doing in someone else.
we must be who we are called and purposed to be. So, in our context, best is not the biggest nor the richest; or the most famous. best in our context, is measured in three key areas: (1) discipleship, (2) influence and (3) empowerment. Hence, a church to d.i.e. for! Add as favourites (123) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 3421
