|
Our Vision: Habakkuk 2:2,3 The vision is for a body of committed Christians established by and under the leadership of Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Spirit, uncompromisingly Bible based, preaching the centrality of the Cross and fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19,20). The body will seek to live by and communicate all aspects of the Gospel under a leadership that commits itself to enable each member to find and fulfil his or her ministry in the Body of Christ and in the wider outreach of the Church. The ministry gifts and Gifts of the Holy Spirit will be taught and encouraged. Mutual support and comfort of the members by the members to be an integral part of the life of the Church. A Christian Centre to be established in the town in multi-functional premises, not only for the benefit of The Full Gospel Church of East Grinstead but as a means of supporting the overall Body of Christ in the town and surrounding area. The Christian Centre will also seek to provide spiritual, secular and business support for the Body of Christ on a wider basis, nationally and internationally, as and how the Lord enables. Industrial and commercial skills together with craft abilities will be encouraged, not just as a means of employment but as a facility to support the work of the Kingdom. Facilities and support for all generations will be developed as the need and means arise. Individual ministry skills and gifts will be released within the life of the church, and outreach teams will be encouraged to go wherever the Lord opens the opportunities. All functions of the Church will be to the end of uplifting and glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ, manifesting the victory of Calvary thereby exposing the works of the principalities and powers for their destruction (Col. 2:14,15). Support of other ministries and Bible-based works will emanate from this body. The Christian Centre will be available at all times as the work expands to the effectual means of providing some refuge for those in need, training in Christian living and ministry, plus organised teaching and convention events. This is the vision as received in faith and supported biblically by receiving Genesis 26:22, the whole being based on the truth of Psalm 127:1. "And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him Hebrews 11:6
