Equipped



             We believe that the gospels show us that Jesus
             spent the greatest amount of His time in ministry
             equipping a group of people to impact the world
             as he invited them to journey alongside and learn
             from Him.

             Our vision, the very longing of our hearts for our
             0-19s is to see them equipped to live their lives for
             Jesus each day and point the world around them
             to Him by their following, obedience and impact,
             so that they will be built up, the church strength-
             ened and many more lives transformed.

             That they would be excited, that they might en-
             counter the living God, that they will be equipped
             in every programme, in every conversation, in
             every moment of sharing life and in all that we do
             to follow Jesus we pray that children and young
             people have the opportunity and the space to
             experience, hear, receive and participate in:

                                                                  encounter Him and equipped to live for Him with
             Rhythms of prayer;
                                                                  all that they have and are.
