Aims of the Moravian Place 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 pastorate is sustain and build our Christian faith in a relaxed, friendly but committed way. We get the opportunity to meet people at a similar age and stage and we work out and hopefully walk out our understanding of the gospel. 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. In particular we aim to welcome people who are new to the church and who have maybe just become a Christian on an Alpha Course at HTB or elsewhere. (Many of our group help out on the Alpha Course on a regular basis). The hope is that we are a place where people 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 become fully 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, run homegroups, lead worship, lead prayer times, give words of knowledge or prophecy, interpret a word from others and of course to serve in the local community.
