Our Leadership and Oversight
We are a Fresh Expressions Church
In the late 1990's and into the New Millennium, a number of Church denominations and mission agencies worked together reflecting on the 90’s church-planting movement and beginning a process of investing and encouraging the pioneering of new forms of church expression.
These fresh expressions weren’t simply a fad or an attempt to be cool but looked to address a rapidly changing culture in the UK and a change in attitude to attending church and to spiritual life.
New things were taking place and church expressions like The Net in Huddersfield and Grace in Ealing sought to re-imagine church for this new environment whilst staying true to a missional and Christ-centred gospel.
