It’s a tough call ministering God’s Word!
A high calling, certainly, but challenging, stretching, demanding and often very costly.
And those who are called by God as servants of the Word soon recognise their need of the support and encouragement, the example and instruction, the prayers and inspiration of like-minded ministers of the gospel: in a word, they soon learn the benefits, and indeed the necessity, of genuine fellowship in gospel ministry.
As a fellowship we seek:
to encourage, support and spur one another on in the exercise of such ministry
to provide instructive and inspiring models of such ministry
to promote the benefits, and teach the disciplines, of such a pattern of ministry
We gather to be refreshed:
by uniting with one another in singing the praises of our God and Saviour
by learning together from the ministry of gifted expositors of the Word of God
by sharing with one another in times of heartfelt, supportive prayer
by eating, speaking and unwinding with one another
