Part of our calling is to share our faith with Ecclesall and beyond.

Our starting point for mission is the Great Commission from Jesus.

"Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples." Matthew 28:19

He added: “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8

As a church family we support Christian work in Sheffield, the UK and in many parts of the world through financial giving and prayer. We support those who go out to teach and help other groups, and those who serve people of any race or religion who are in need through sickness or natural disaster.
