Contexts for Mission

As a church we are engaged in specific mission in the following ways.

Local Children are taught the Gospel at Clovelly Public School Scripture sessions on Tuesday mornings.

Local Families are contacted through baptism/ marriage preparation, and through Family Services, which also build a link between the School children, the church, and their families.

Remembrance Day Service and RSL contact gives us a link with ex-service people and their families.

Prayer Ministry enables us to contact people at the point of ministry for personal needs.

Healing Ministry following the Sunday service enables us to share with people at another point of need.

Distribution of Literature and Jesus Videos brings further scope for contact.

Encouragement of members who take up opportunities related to their life style. Some have led people to Christ in their place of work. Others have done so through contacts with friends in their social context and local community.

Encouragement to live a winsome life-style. We encourage people to help roll-back the negative heritage that many have received through rough handling and even abuse by churches or church institutions. Legalism, also. and religious formalism have done countless damage. The result is that many have apparently rejected Christianity without having really heard the Gospel of Jesus! When Christians and churches can reflect the love, attitudes and actions of Jesus of Nazareth, many people will be surprised by joy.

Planting Seed is Mission

Don’t wait for Harvest before planting more! Never underestimate the significance of even the slightest amount of verbal Christian communication, when it is shared with compassion, authenticity and integrity.
