Stories are powerful

Jesus used stories in his ministry in life-changing ways. Telling your story is a spiritual practice that encourages and builds relationship with others, often on a deeper level. It offers an opportunity to reflect upon what God has been doing in your life and around you. This frequently brings a new realisation of how God has been transforming your life. Our individual stories are each a part of God’s larger story. By sharing your story with others, you reveal God’s character and share His story with others.

Church Crawley is a vibrant family of churches in Crawley seeking to play its part in the evangelisation of the nations, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society, by loving Jesus, loving church, loving people and loving Crawley.

At our core we are filled with the Holy Spirit. We are humble, not thinking too highly or too lowly of ourselves, knowing our identity is secure in Jesus. We are hungry, hungry to grow in relationship with Jesus, to serve, hungry for Crawley. We are home, a welcoming place where everyone is seen, heard and loved, a place of both comfort and challenge.

From humble comes aspiring for excellence, bringing our best as we honour God with our skills and abilities. From hungry comes generous, pouring out all we have, giving our time, energy and resources. And from home we want to be risk takers for the kingdom of God, not taking ourselves too seriously but taking God really seriously. We know we’re not risking our reputation but God’s, and He’s so big He can take it.
