Church Planting in Southern England

Wanted: MA’s, MAPS, and Career M’s

An alumnus of Cambridge, C.T. Studd, once said: “Some wish to sit within the sound of church or chapel bells. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.”

One such place sits on the southern coast of England in an area where 72% of her inhabitants consider themselves total atheists. Along an 85-mile stretch from Portsmouth to Hastings, there is currently only one national Assemblies of God church. Brighton alone has nearly 300,000 inhabitants. There are two universities: the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex. There are also three colleges and five language schools that teach eight different languages. The need for the Gospel among this highly secularized population is desperate. It is in this mix of spiritual need, various cultures, and multiple languages that we are planting a church with the Great Britain Assemblies of God.

If you are ready for an adventure while living a God-sized Dream, this is the place for you! There are so many areas of outreach and ministry possibilities that one simply needs to say Yes.  We need staff pastors, worship leaders, university and youth leaders, international outreach leaders, Living Free/CR leaders, children’s ministry leaders, media, camera, photography, and technical leads, as well as other positions that can help us reach an area and region with the message of who God says they are. If you have a heart for the lost, broken, and destitute; if you’re willing to serve and allow God to stretch you in areas that may not be a current strength; if you are willing to walk the long road of recovery and discipleship without judgment, then this could be the place for you.
