Aims of the World's End Pastorate

Our most fundamental aim is to love and serve Our Lord Jesus Christ within the setting and context of our daily lives here in London. Perhaps some of this desire can be encapsulated in the thoughts below:

1. The single most important thing we do in each of our pastorates is sustain and build up each other in our Christian faith in a relaxed, friendly but committed way. We get the opportunity to meet people at a similar age and stage in life, and we work out and hopefully walk out our understanding of the bible. We believe that together we are so much more than the sum of our individual parts. So we learn together, laugh together, pray together and serve together.
2. As well as existing members of HTB, we aim to welcome people who are new to the church and who have maybe just become a Christian on an Alpha Course (many in our two groups help out on the Alpha Course on a regular basis). The hope is that we are a place where people at every stage in their Christian lives can "find their feet" without wondering to themselves "what am I doing here"!
3. Another important aim is to explore our gifts and our calling. In Ephesians Chapter 4 Paul writes that "It was He (Jesus Christ) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers". So together we explore all the different ways in which we can fully become who God made and intended us to be, so that in turn we can serve Him in the most effective way possible. In practical terms, there are opportunities to give talks, lead worship, lead prayer times, and of course to serve in the local community.

Vision

As a pastorate we want to "Grow to be true disciples of Jesus as we seek to demonstrate God's love in action on the World's End and surrounding estates". Our bible study / teaching is focussed on learning what it is to be a disciple of Jesus - the practice as much as the theory - and we have a specific agenda for practical action which flows from this. We are very much an inclusive group, where everyone is encouraged to demonstrate their giftings, particularly in the field of social action.
