If a church calls one of its buildings ‘Church Centre’, simply put a ‘d’ after the name, and there you have its vision statement.

I was astounded by the wonderful all-age service at Ashurst. There’s such a vibe there. For some reason it’s so easy to worship and learn about God. As a visitor, I couldn’t quite work out what made the difference, but I was determined to find out the church’s secret. So I went to see Helen (a church member) last Friday, and here’s what she told me over a cup of tea:
So, for a more effective church life,
1. Don’t: start with church, trying to form a community by running a service/creating housegroups
2. Do: find a community, sensitively point to God in it, and patiently let things develop from there
Only trouble is, we’ve already got all the trappings of point 1 (building, equipment, trained and paid professional leader) which makes it so much easier to do the less effective thing.
Ashurst all-age services take place every second Sunday of the month at 11am.
