Mainstream.....
started in the seventies as a renewal movement within the
Baptist denomination. Having seen its original vision largely
fulfilled. Mainstream is now developing as a movement of leaders
and churches committed to seeking God as we stand alongside one
another to share in God's mission in the world. We are a home to
churches and church leaders both within and beyond the
Baptist Union. We believe
there is a wealth of experience and wisdom amongst us that can
help us all express mission effectively -
expressed in.....
- being committed to Word and
Spirit
- connecting leaders and churches
for mission
- equipping leaders to fulfil
their God-given potential
- equipping leadership teams to
catch the vision and engage in mission
- equipping Churches by offering
teaching and prophetic input
|
Four focal points of
urgency in God's mission -
