Activities

Prayer cells are the driving force for the church which propels the church forward and can be used to promote “union” and “brotherly love” between attendees. Prayer cell forms a platform for believers to develop, share short messages, lead as well as pray for the various needs of the members. The timings and venue of the prayer cells vary depending on the convenience of the members.

In High Wycombe fasting prayer meetings runs on Fridays and Saturdays of the first week of the month. And in Oxford it runs on Fridays and Saturdays of the third week of the month and in Aylesbury fasting prayer meetings runs on Fridays and Saturdays of the second week of the month. These meetings are run within homes and often guest pastors are invited. Believers gather to pray for the perishing and the needy.

Ladies do gather weekly within High Wycombe, Aylesbury ,Oxford and Witney respectively to pray. The services have helped to provide support and also share gospel. The group meets in the one of residences of the church members. We provide zoom links for those who would like to join the service online. In these meetings, ladies find time to witness Christ, encourage each other, share the word of God and pray for several needs especially for the revival and spiritual growth of individuals. Moreover, ladies as a group meet to pray for the sick, growth of the church, revival of the land and repentance of souls. They also visit families and individuals and pray for their personal and spiritual needs.

Investing in today’s youth is necessary in growing the body of Christ. Teaching young people in the church to grow in their relationship with the Lord prepares them to serve Christ in all they do. As a result, this nurtures the congregation and allows the church to flourish.

Serving young people cannot only prepare them to become future leaders, but also allow them to contribute to the church. This is seen many times in the Bible, as God often used young people to do great things. For example, God used Timothy to pastor and lead the Ephesian church when he was a teenager. 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

Regular youth meetings are held every month. The church members are divided into groups and take turns to display their God given talents based on their choices. The youth wing also organises annual talent tests and outdoor events.

Yearly children activities are organised with an emphasis to create more awareness for the children and youth on spiritual matters. During these sessions special guests are invited to teach and support. The children from other churches are also invited and a theme is focused for the whole day session. These sessions also have planned games and activities.

Yearly once family conferences are organised with a focus to strengthen fellowship among the believers and to share love. A number of spiritual, cultural events gets organised and games are run for children. The conference also provides opportunity for the families to listen to biblical teaching focussed on the ‘Christian Family’ from specially invited guests.

The church supports housing projects, medical needs, education and also runs various fund-raising events. The church has supported several charity organisations within UK and intends to do more.

Cottage meetings are an excellent opportunity for brothers and sisters in Christ to get to know each other and praise God together from house to house” (Acts 2:46-47). These meetings help build fellowship and unity within the congregation.
