Newfrontiers

Our church is part of the Newfrontiers family of over 850 churches in 60 or so nations around the world. Newfrontiers was founded by Terry Virgo who for many years was at Church of Christ the King, in Brighton, but is now part of King's Church, Kingston-upon-Thames.

We are committed to building the church according to New Testament principles, believing that the most effective form of evangelism is worked out from strong local churches: churches where each member participates, the gifts of the Spirit are outworked, where there is joy in caring one for the other, and where there is a desire to make a difference in society and to reach those in need.

This is expressed in our five-fold vision:

• Making disciples
• Restoring the Church
• Training Leaders
• Starting Churches
• Reaching the nations

We believe that a truly New Testament church must acknowledge and receive the Ephesians 4 ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. These gifts need to be recognised by those churches receiving them so that they are not imposed on a local church but rather readily embraced as the relationship develops. Over the years God has raised up people with these gifts to serve the churches in the various nations in which we are working. Teams are developing in different regions in the UK and in different nations around the world.

In our local region we are working closely with other churches around Lancashire and the North of England who are also in the Newfrontiers family. The leaders meet regularly for friendship, prayer and training, and there is a regular flow of ministry in and out of our churches as a practical outworking of our apostolic and prophetic foundations.

From time to time we pool our resources to stage bigger events such as the Front Edge evangelistic weekend, or the annual North Bible Camp in Yorkshire, attended by over 2000 delegates from across the North of the UK and beyond.

Newfrontiers is a worldwide family of churches together on a mission, currently over 850 churches worldwide. With a passionate commitment to build the church according to New Testament principles.
