I'M NOT A CRUEL JOKE GOD 

Father God says to you this week.

"I am not a cruel joke God. Dear child, you will never have abiding hope if you believe I am a cruel joke God. It’s a revelation of my love that changes everything. If you believe something wrong about me, the result will be hopelessness. You need to know I love you, I’m for you, I really do intervene on your behalf. It’s in this reality that you will experience not being afraid of anything. I am for you, I will act on your behalf, I'm always positioning you for success, I will open doors for you. I would never put a dream on your heart, and then never let you do it, I am setting you up, and opening doors for what you are made for. You don’t have to be perfect in order for me to be satisfied and bless and promote your life, and answer prayer. Take your eyes off you, renounce the lie that says the reason break through hasn’t arrived is because you are failing, it doesn’t all rest on you being perfect in order for me to open the doors, and bring the promotion. Take your eyes off yourself!! You don’t have to be fully content in order for me to let you out of this season. Yes have life, hope and joy in every season, but I’m not withholding my goodness until you actually do something enough to win my affection". (Based on a talk given by Abi Stumvoll, Culture of Hope. PERSONAL JOURNEY OF HOPE, Bethel Church, Redding, August 26 2015)

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

 

Some key information about the church...

 

Where & when does the church meet?

The church meets every Sunday at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service. There is plenty of free parking around the CCK building. We are walking distance from Plumstead Train station and local buses. It’s good to get to the meeting 15 minutes early to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee before the service starts.

We meet at the church building in the middle of Plumstead

The address is:

46 Lakedale Road
Plumstead
London
SE18 1PS

You can see a map on our contact us page.

 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.

Sunday is special because it’s the main opportunity in the week for the whole church family to gather, worship God, enjoy his manifest presence together, minister to one-another, receive encouragement and exhortation from God’s word and be refreshed by God’s Spirit and one-another’s friendship and support.

There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray, prophesy or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a preach, we take time to understand the bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice. At the end of the preach there is always a chance to respond.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

 

What happens to the kids at church?

As a family church we are thrilled to have people of all ages involved in our Sunday morning meetings. Typically, after worshiping together for 30 minutes or so, the children and young people will leave for their own activities.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 0–14. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
