Vision
A Life Worth Living
Jesus was filled with compassion when he looked upon the crowds
of people who flocked to Him. Jesus came into the world to set people free from
every kind of oppression. He came to bring life. Life which is rich and full
and throbbing with .... life!
Above all, Jesus came to bring people into a living relationship
with God the Father. He did this by providing forgiveness of sins through His
death on the cross for all who put their trust in Him. But Jesus did not remain
dead. He came back to life and was taken up into heaven where He is alive right
now. Jesus longs that people everywhere should discover the joy of knowing God
and living for Him.
Build the Church; reach the lost
It is our vision, in the King's Church, to impact the Uckfield
area with the good news of Jesus Christ. God called us more than ten years ago
to build a lively, dynamic Church in Uckfield that would affect the whole area.
We have a twofold priority as a Church: to build the Church as a loving
community and to reach the lost with the message of Jesus.
People on fire
Our greatest resource in achieving this goal is people. People
who will lay down their lives for the gospel. People who will die to their
personal goals and ambitions and take up the challenge of working together to
see the Uckfield area won for Christ. People who have been touched by the fire
of God and are burning with a passion to see His purpose fulfilled.
Town and villages
God has called us not only to Uckfield, but also to the
surrounding villages including Buxted, Framfield, Isfield, Maresfield and
Newick. Our aim is to establish Community Groups in each village and to plant
out strong, lively Churches as God directs us.
The whole body of Christ
We will not achieve our vision alone, but in partnership with
others in the body of Christ. Through our involvement with
Newfrontiers, a growing family of Churches across the world, we receive
encouragement, training and apostolic leadership to equip us for the task. We
also have growing relationships with other evangelical Churches in the Uckfield
area and we are confident that this will lead to more co-operation in the work
of the gospel.
Go into all the world
Jesus commissioned His followers to go throughout the world
proclaiming the gospel message. The King's Church, Uckfield is involved in the
work of the gospel across the world through prayer, financial giving and the
sending of gifted people. This is done in partnership with
Newfrontiers, which has a ministry to plant new Churches and strengthen
existing Churches throughout the UK and in nine other nations. We also support
an aid project run by Churches in Romania and have friendship links with other
Churches around the world. [ Return to Details ]
