HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

As a church we are called to serve and sow into four “fields” or primary areas of mission

The Campus

The Community

The City

The Nations

Each congregation has specific ways of engaging in these areas, and will post related events and initiatives as they come up. Below we describe our approach to each of these areas generally:

Campus

“Change The Campus, Change The World”

Together with our global Every Nation family we believe that God has given us a mandate and calling to intentionally reach out to students and the next generation with the Good News of Jesus, and to raise them as leaders for every sphere of society tomorrow. To do this we have a focussed campus ministry with campus staff and leaders that lead this world-changing mission.

For more on our campus ministry, see here.

Community

By community we mean our “neighbours” as Jesus defined them. The needs of the people each of us live amongst. And the needs in the communities where our congregations meet. We also have close connections with a few disadvantaged communities abroad. Through various initiatives and partnerships we serve and give to make a difference, including:

  • The Foodbank – see here
  • The Ikhethelo Children’s Village, South Africa – see here
  • Ukraine Drug and Alcohol rehab centres
  • The Patient Relief Mission, Kampala, Uganda – see here

To catch our heart for Making a Difference, watch Wolfi’s “How we make a difference” talk here.

City

We love to call London “the greatest city in the world,” and we encourage and equip you to be a representative of Jesus and a Kingdom influencer in whatever sphere of society you are positioned, including Government, Business/finance, The arts/entertainment, Education, Media, Family, Social services, or Faith. As Jesus’ disciples we are the “salt and light” in the city, and as we “arise and shine” the glory of the Lord will be seen and people will be drawn to Jesus, and we will see His Kingdom advance in righteousness, justice, peace and prosperity.

Church Planting & Missions

We believe that together with our world-wide Every Nation family we have an apostolic mandate “to honor God by establishing Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation.” Our big dream is to do this in “every nation in our generation”. From the very beginning of the London church we have sensed a “call to the nations”, and this apostolic mandate has been part of our focus through regular short-term missions and major church planting initiatives. To date, since starting our original congregation in 1993, we have had the privilege to send leaders via London to plant churches in: China, Dublin, Stratford, Madrid, Slough, Gent, (Belgium), Belfast, and most recently a key part of a church plant in Kampala, Uganda.
We also play a very strategic role in resourcing, supporting, and equipping the Every Nation churches across Europe. Pastor Wolfi currently fulfils the role of leading the Every Nation Europe Leadership Team which oversees the Every Nation churches and church planting mission in Europe. He is also a part of the Every Nation Global Team.

In 2020, together with our Every Nation Europe churches, we committed to the GO Europe 2040 Vision, that

“By God’s grace, we will plant a campus-reaching church in every European nation by 2040”
