2023 - What We Did
Key activities in support of our vision:
Preaching and teaching ministry was principally delivered by Rev Dr Jacky with support from two of our deacons.
Visiting ministers included Rev Carol Bostridge, a friend of LWCF and Regional London Baptist Minister and Louise Isaac who taught on prayer.
Our focus for evangelism included:
Our 111 people initiative – prayers, relationship and support to 111 people in our network
Given our heart to reach out to those in need we ran two series of the CAP Money Coaching Course online to equip and enable those in our community needing assistance during the cost of living crisis. Feedback obtained via email, zoom chat and survey monkey was overwhelmingly positive. We plan to run further courses in 2024.
