Partners in Mission

As a church we support a number of different organisations throughout the year.  to learn more about them, click on the pictures and they will take you to the websites of the different organisations.

Stephen Chapman has spent time sailing with the Jubilee Sailing Trust aboard Tenacious and Lord Nelson, and through sponsorship has raised £2,700 for the Mission to Seafarers.

 
Every year we are part of the Let's Go initiative, a community service program in and around Horsham.  It is a vital part of our work in the local community as we seek to help others with their needs.

We hosted a music concert by the group Vivace from East Sussex, in aid of local charity PAGEANT which raises money to support schools in the Gambia.  It was a really enjoyable evening, raising over £350.

 
In November and December we have been supported the Operation Christmas Child Charity, which sends beautifully wrapped shoeboxes with wonderful gifts inside.  As well as encouraging local schools and businesses to join us in this project, we have become (with another local church) the sorting point for this part of Sussex - checking the boxes, and then packing them in to crates and containers.  In 2007 we will deal with over 7,000 boxes, going to Romania and Kyrgyzstan.

Each year we take part in the Christain Aid week collection, and also promote their Christmas gifts catalogue.

For our harvest project we teamed up with Farm Africa and raised some money to provide goats for poor communities, and also training for the vets needed to care for them.  We raised over £700.
