Vision March 2019 final

Strouden Park and Townsend
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares
the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm
you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
“The potential for resourcing local mission as a church
out of our central congregation in Lansdowne Road is
exciting! We want to reach the unreached communities
within the conurbation.”
Tom Davenport Community Worker
That’s already happening in Townsend and Strouden Park.
But with the opening of the new building we look forward to
resourcing our mission in such places even more effectively.
Through this, we aim to see men, women and children from
these estates reached with the gospel, becoming disciples of
Christ and growing with us in Him.
The positive impact we are already having is something
which Lorna Head, the principle at Jewell Academy,
appreciates
“A sense of Belonging is part of our values at Jewell.
The children know they belong to Jewell Academy,
but by working in partnership with the church, they
have begun to understand they belong to much more
than just their families and their school. The Church
has supported us in assemblies, fund raising and
more recently, mentoring. This provides a strong
link for all stakeholders. We look forward to the links
growing stronger.”
A growing central congregation will not just support and
resource what we are doing in BH8, but help us to develop
mission in other similar areas.
