It’s almost seven years since my family and I moved to Trevethin to plant Hill City Church—and it’s been a roller coaster of a ride! In many ways, the church that I now lead looks very different to the church that I dreamed of as a young, inexperienced, arrogant, gospel ranter. That’s not a bad thing by the way! However, for various […]

I was recently approached to participate in a Singleness, Dating, and Contentment seminar. As I started to prepare for my session, I was reminded just how important this issue is, not only for women on schemes, but in general.

A good leader will need to communicate the following in the early days: Explain the gospel Explain what healthy church should look like Explain […]
