Here in Frinton Gospel Chapel we are developing a Network church strategy. Basically the primary question that has been shaping us is:
"What does church look like in......? That village? That school? That old peoples home? That age group? That social club? .....and trying to create church there!

The plan being, not to grow a mega church, & not to create clones, but to sow the DNA of "all that we hold dear" into that community & letting it be shaped by the uniqueness of that community. We are not copying someone else's blueprint or "grow church quick" system. We are not fishing in anyone's pond & we are not using the same methods or styles being effectively used by others but we are constantly looking to create church in a variety of locations & a variety of ways. There are precious few "onesize fits all" methods that will be effective these days anyway.


So we step out into the new territory equipped with a passion to see different types of people coming to faith. The benefit of network church is that we can share the best resources such as our evangelistic heart, our eldership, our leadership team...... eventually as new network churches develop, we will be able to share something from that community too & the whole network will benefit. Exciting times!
