Why write a blog

Something about our global experience during 2020 and 2021 has caused us to ask what really matters and, as part of that question, what is the church, what is faith in God all about - why even plant churches?  

In Matthew 28 Jesus calls us to plant churches by making disciples of every nation. There are many different styles and ways of 'doing' church, but ultimately if we're not making disciples, then we're just doing our own thing. Before we worry about what our Sunday 'meetings' look and sound like, we're focusing on what it takes to make multiplying disciples.

All across the world millions of people are becoming disciples of Jesus as a follower of Jesus shares with them the good news of the gospel who in turn shares with another and so on. Our hope with this blog is to write about our journey of making multiplying disciples, including some 'how to's' and reflections on what we're doing here in Bradford and what we're seeing in the nations.

We love the church and are privileged to be part of a family of churches that plant and grow healthy, multiplying churches full of people who follow Jesus. Will you join us on this adventure?

I recently had the incredible privilege of visiting Antakya, a beautiful city in the South of Turkiye that was among the worst affected by the recent earthquakes in February. It’s been hard to know what to share since I have returned.

Keeping it simple

Keeping it simple

It's super easy to make things complicated. It's almost as if we do it by default. We do in so much of life. We also do it in our walk with Jesus, both alone and together as the church.
