“Summer’s Ignite is here. It’s a church special: Evangelism in its many forms - churches across the country share their vision with us

Summer’s Ignite is here and jam-packed with stories we hope will challenge and inspire you.

Our whole edtion looks at how churches are using relationships - in their many different forms - to touch the lives of non-believers in their communities.

Belmont Church, in Exeter, has a congregation of between three to four hundred people on a Sunday morning led by a leadership team. They are passionate about inter-generational church life that’s not just catering to one type of person. But they encourage the generations to mix and do ‘all-together church’.

Leader of Counties Church plant, Church in the Community, Wollaston, Jordan Armstong, found their church thrived through doing less and putting the Gospel and one-to-one relationships first. He believes that too many churches feel there is an expectation on them to be a provider of ‘things’ for the community and that we often doubt the power of the Word:

“We don’t think that Gospel is enough of a provision for people. We feel like we need to provide the things people want before we ask them to listen to things we want them to hear. “If we really believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Good News and we share that with people, then we’ll realise that the Good News isn’t a toddler group or the coffee we serve because we’ve got a nice coffee machine - it’s the message that people need today, just as much now as then.”
