 Mainstream
North is encouraging the formation of local meetings of
ministers and church leaders. These are based around
around an agenda in which we seek to develop one another
as leaders committed to forming missionary disciples.
Alongside this we have a programme of Leaders Day and
Theology Days. The first of these looks at issues of
ministry and mission in a context of worship and sharing
our stories as church leaders. Theology Days provide an
opportunity to talk together in a relaxed and safe
environment on underlying theological topics. More
recently we have introduced elements of personal retreat
and worship leadership training. All this is to help you
lead your church. If you want to be involved in any of
this, please contact Stephen Ibbotson.

Mainstream NE first began to meet every two or three
months during 2006. We have met for mutual
encouragement, input from a speaker and prayer,
originally at New Life Baptist Church in Northallerton,
North Yorkshire with people coming from all over the
North East. However, as the area is quite large (from
Northumberland to York), and Northallerton is quite a
long way South for many, we meet at
Bethany Christian Centre in Houghton le Spring to
make it easier for others to come. For details of
meetings, please do contact us. We would very much like
to hear from anyone who would be interested in more
information. |
