King's Church Southend

Newfrontiers
Sphere: Relational Mission
Congregation: 28 adults (9 under 18)

We are a small (but growing) family church who are part of the Newfrontiers family of churches. We meet at St Cedd's Church building in Bridgwater Drive at 10.15am for refreshments and beginning our worship at 10.30am. We encourage everyone to participate and contribute. We have a midweek evening prayer time and there is a church family WhatsApp group where we keep in touch regularly with matters for prayer and praise ...and news. We've run a debt advice ministry since 2009 called KMAC (pronounced kay-mack). It is a well respected work that has been running for over 10 years. KMAC is part of Community Money Advice (CMA).

As a church family we value each other highly, and do our best to encourage one another, serve one another, support one another, and (of course) love one another.

We are not a finished or polished church. We are a work in progress...but we are enjoying God's presence among us on the journey. We want to be authentic in our faith and passionate in our love for God, and others around us. We want to grow. We wan to grow through the Gospel changing lives, and also those who have known God but have perhaps somehow lost their way, or their first love. We are a safe environment for honest dealing with God and each other.

Sunday Church2Gether: We gather at 10.15am for refreshments and fellowship and begin our service at 10.30am. We give the first part of our time together in worship where everyone can make a contribution in prayer or scripture. We then have more fellowship and refreshments after which the children go to their group called "The Zone". The rest of us have time wit teaching from scripture. Sometimes these times are interactive rather than just one person speaking. There is opportunity for people to receive prayer during the morning.
