Our Vision
The long term vision that God has given us is set out here. We also have a five-year strategic plan and a focus for the current year.
In the future...
We will be a growing church of a thousand people encountering God in worship; multiple congregations united by a passion to love God and love others.
We will be a light to this city
We will embrace our calling to be an evangelistic church, communicating creatively and impactfully, with every member playing their part to bring non-Christians to faith.
We will be committed to social action, serving our local area in practical ways, freely sharing the talents and resources that God has freely given us. We will bring unity among the churches of London, proclaiming with one loud and clear voice the truth of Jesus.
We will be an authentic community
We will seek to live out our God-given potential, discovering and developing our gifts, to build God's kingdom at home, at work and in the wider world.
We will be a church of small groups where people do life together, spurring one another on to grow as disciples of Jesus.
We will be a church where children and young people minister to all ages and help their families and friends come to faith.
We will be an international church, equipping people from other countries to be agents of change when they return home.
We will raise up an abundance of leaders who are nurtured and challenged to lead Ascension and released to serve the global church.
We will allow God to lead his church his way
We will prioritise prayer and seek God's direction through the Bible and prophecy.
We will expect gifts of the Spirit. We will look for the miraculous and witness healings.
We will step out in faith, regardless of the personal cost.
