Turning the Tide
Turning the tide is a vision to see Zion Community Church renewed and revitalised in the next three years. This means expanding our membership for long-term growth, supporting a full-time pastor and becoming financially self-supporting.
Our intention is to grow the life of the church in order to make an impact with the gospel in West Cornwall.
We are focusing our energies on prayer, evangelism and training of gospel workers.
We have identified five areas to focus on:
To build and establish our membership
- From local churches with sending capacity
- By asking people intentionally to join us
- Through the 'Friends of Zion' group
To re-focus and commit to prayer
- To pray all together as a church
- To pray intentionally and specifically
- Commit to weekly prayer
To renew our approach to evangelism
- To study the book of Acts together
- To pursue the 'who's your one?' initiative
- To ensure evangelism is a key ongoing aspect to church life
To engage an apprentice/trainee each year
- To pray and plan for the person, accommodation and financial provision
- To support, train and send people to further gospel ministry
- To seek to equip workers for reaching Cornwall and beyond
To further our work with the Peninsula Gospel Partnership (PGP)
- Key links with churches around Cornwall
- Invite help from other leaders
- To enjoy full support from the PGP
