MISSION

Ø  Equip members through Bible study and discipleship  (Acts 2:42-46)

Ø  Evangelise the lost (by reaching into their local community and doing kind deeds Matthew 25:35-36)

Ø  Care and support group members (1 John 3:17-18)

THE APPROACH

Ø  Regular communication via meeting and fellowship nights

Ø  Provide a peer mentoring programme

Ø  Regular and ongoing training annually

TRAINING

All Care leaders are expected to attend a training day (usually one Saturday) with on-going support from their mentor.

CHRISTMAS 2010

Christmas 2010 saw the launch of the Christmas Day Community Dinner which actually brought the community of Heath Town together: Romanians; Sikhs; Muslims; Africans and of course the English.   

Live entertainment on the day touched the hearts of those that attended: carol singing, trumpet, flute and a solo by one of the guests.  One particular guest was moved to tears.
