God has given us MUCH…
Over the past years of revitalisation at Crossway Church, God has given us so much. In just the past three years, we’ve seen…
- over 130 individuals (adults & children) with us regularly on Sundays
- up to 50 children in our Sunday clubs
- 30 new members in the last three years
- at least 20 different nationalities worshipping with us each week
- 8 baptisms in the last three years
And those are just some of the blessings that we can count. It’s not possible to put a “number” on many of the things that matter most: for example, faith, love, hope, unity. We’re also aware that much fruit from our ongoing ministries won’t be seen for years to come. God has given us MUCH.
But we want MORE…
It would be tempting to treat MORE like a dirty word; it can sound ungrateful and greedy. But MORE is a very biblical word: like Paul (in the bible verse below), we want MORE!
“All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.”
2 Corinthians 4:15 (NIV)
- MORE people to encounter God’s grace
- MORE thanksgiving to explode in their lives
- MORE glory to go to our God
And that’s why we are “Building for MORE”…
MORE SPACE to gather together as one church in one service
MORE ACCESSIBILITY to welcome all
MORE FACILITIES to open up to our community
MORE SUSTAINABILITY & LONGEVITY to gather together as one church in one service
MORE STABILITY for us to explore church revitalising or planting in the future
