ABOUT US...

Here's a little about the inception of our church plant and the exciting journey we've been on so far!
Picture

Conceived in 2017...

The initial conversations on planting Hope Church Sittingbourne were held on Wednesday, 4th October 2017 (over a pub lunch!).

Following a Summer sabbatical and in light of prophetic direction bringing a conviction that the Holy Spirit was speaking about a new season, the eldership team at Cornerstone City Church began to make practical plans and preparations for the Watson family to be sent to lead a fresh planting initiative into Sittingbourne in the Summer of 2018.

Why Hope Church?

On Thursday, 12th October 2017, during the Relational Mission church planting conference in Malaga, Gordon received prophetic revelation of the name of the new Church. He shared it with just a few close people but held the name back, trusting that it would be confirmed at some future point through some other means.

On Wednesday, 6th December 2017, twenty three leaders from across Relational Mission Kent churches gathered together in Sittingbourne for a prayer breakfast at The Golden Hope, the local Wetherspoons pub.

The leaders split into groups and prayer walked along the High Street to get a sense of Gods heart for the town. One group stopped on the corner, directly opposite Swale Council offices, and as the group prayed, David King prophesied that the name of the new church should be Hope Church Sittingbourne - Prophetic confirmation received some 8 weeks later
!
​
​When the prayer groups returned to The Golden Hope for feedback, half of the prophetic prayer cards returned had specific mentions of this new expression bringing HOPE.

Our Hope...

It is our hope, that as we partner with others from across the Relational Mission family and across Sittingbourne, we will find a groundswell of people offering to support us in prayer and other practical ways.

We are hopeful there will be many people in and around the Sittingbourne area that we don't yet know that will become part of the Hope Church Sittingbourne family. Joining us as we creatively share the Gospel of the Kingdom in all we do, through words, works and wonders.

We believe that Jesus has called us to be a people who bring hope to the hopeless in practical everyday ways as we engage with our local community and demonstrate Christ-like compassion to our neighbours, friends and colleagues, one-by-one.
