A church for those who don’t go to church
Rather than expect people to come to church services, we visit a street every week, to get to know our community.
Our game plan is not to drag people to church. But, we are persuaded there are huge reasons to follow Jesus Christ for this life and the next. And we’d love an opportunity to explore this with you in the context of friendship.
Of course it goes without saying that anyone who’d like to join us for a church service (starts 5:30pm) will be absolutely welcome. A good way to find out why we should follow Jesus is to be in a place where you’ll understand the Bible as it is explained. And you can see the difference it makes when you hang out with Christians.
We meet every Sunday at 5.30pm at The Becontree Church Centre (330 Hedgemans Road).
It’s the sort of meeting that anyone would feel at home in. We praise God for his love for us and for people on our estate, and speak to him about what is important to him and to us.
We’ll discover how God speaks from the Bible to humble us, and to create new love for him and for others.
All that in simple every day English anyone can understand.
Every Sunday afternoon between 2-3:30pm we aim to visit a small number of homes hoping to eventually make friends with everyone who lives in our area.
Next Sunday (18th August) we’ll visit 1-35 Elstow Road AND 9-12 Elstow Gardens.
Before we visit any home we first hand-deliver a letter explaining we’re on our way (& when). And if people rather we didn’t visit, we give our phone number and email address so they can tell us… and we’ll keep away. But happily there are many friendly folk who are willing to chat. And following a visit we usually handwrite a little ‘thank you card’ – appreciating the conversation we’ve had.
Those who aren’t in… we try again on Tuesday, around 6-7 pm.
