Local work
As a local expression of God’s love many members have been involved in the community in different ways.
The principle organisations members are involved in at the moment are:
Stockport Community Counselling
As a response to need within the churches and wider community SCC was set up over 23 years ago. After serving many years as a counsellor Kevin now jointly heads up the venture which has several venues across the Stockport region offering free counselling to those who need it.
Missionaries
Part of the original call of our house church movement was to reach out into the world. Although we are a relatively small church we have seen many from our ranks serve overseas, from China to Africa, in both short and long term projects.
Our prayer meetings are often taken up with praying for Gods work around the world.
At the moment we financially support 3 missionary situations:
Rebecca and Pravin
India
Rebecca went through our Sunday School before studying to be a nurse and then going out to serve in India. There God called her into work with children from the slums. She also met her husband Praveen out there and together they minister to those on the margins of city life.
Caroline
Wycliffe
Caroline was a member of our Church after she came back from doing God’s work in France. She was then called to Cambodia for bible translation work with Wycliffe.
She is now permanently based in the UK, serving Wycliffe in a variety of ways.
