Our
Mission: Bringing the
community together to know God
Below are some photos from our 2011 Christmas tree
festival which raised a total of £500 for St Lukes Hospice
The Church in its setting:The church premises are in Linford but
serve an area which embraces four loosely-knit communities which
make up East Tilbury and have a total population of around 6000. East
Tilbury is a part of the borough of Thurrock which lies along the
Thames estuary, east of London.
Church Policy:
1. Fellowship and Spiritual Growth
We regard the family nature of the
church as vitally important. Though a relatively small group we
support and uphold one another in worship and fellowship. Our Bible study and prayer group meets to encourage
spiritual growth and deepen understanding of Christian
discipleship.
2. Pastoral Care
We believe that the church, through all
its members, exists to care for the emotional and spiritual needs
of its congregation, especially in times of trouble. We also have
a calling to caring in the same way for those same needs in the
community.
3. Worship
The pattern of our worship has, for a
number of years, been all-age worship.. This gives diversity and
richness to the worship which has led in turn to an enrichment of
our church family life across the age groups.
4. Stewardship
We encourage all our members to respond
to the call to serve God by using our gifts and graces in His
service and for His Kingdom.
5. Outreach
Through existing activities, like our twice weekly parent
& toddler group and our monthly after school Yippee club for 5 to 12 year olds
we reach out into
the community. We believe that the church should be noticeable in
the community and we commit ourselves to sharing the Gospel. We
have always tried to do this through ecumenical co-operation with
St Catherine's Church of England with whom we share a bible study fellowship at
8 o'clock on the second Tuesday of each month at Linford .
Worship:
We meet at 10.30 on Sunday mornings for
worship, which is All-age worship. The church family gathers for
the opening of worship and then we split into groups - the
younger age group meeting in Sunday School and the adults
remaining in church for the preaching service. The closing of the
service is shared together again and the young people are able to
bring to us what they have been doing in their session.
Weekday activities:
Tuesday & Thursday (in term
time) 09.30 to 12.00
