Interview with the Carters - The call to Romford
Martin interviews the wonderful Carter family, who plan to leave Canterbury later in 2021 to pioneer a Gospel Plant in Romford.
We hear of just what a Gospel Plant is exactly, their different journeys to making the decision to go, their vision, what they're excited for as well as what fears they are facing.
My heart is that church could become a safe space for the neurodiverse, diagnosed or not, to learn that God loves them, but also that he has plans and purposes for them regardless of the challenges that they face.

Steve worked for many years as a doctor and a psychiatrist, and is presently the Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK, and a pastor at Christ Church Cambridge. Steve kindly took the time to answer some questions submitted by the church during his visit to us.

As believers, we know that our journey with Christ is not meant to be a solo endeavour. Just as the early Christians in the book of Acts supported and nurtured each other's faith, we too can benefit greatly from these types of relationships. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of discipleship, how it can help us grow, and practical steps to initiate accountable relationships.
In this video, Paul, Mark & Jon recommend a selection of resources and tools that they have found helpful in developing intentional, scripture based habits.
Building a loving and inclusive community lies at the heart of God and the gospel. After all, Jesus came down to restore our broken relationships. No one worked harder at restoring community than God Himself.
The entire biblical narrative converges at one centre—Jesus Christ. His life, death, and resurrection provide the foundation for the Bible's overarching message.
