Twenty-three leaders from eight different Grace Baptist charities have met together for the first time at an overnight gathering in Northampton.
Andrew King, Grace Baptist Association Secretary, writes: "We were encouraged by reports about our annual assembly discussing how to mobilise church members, a growing association of around 100 churches with others applying, a summer youth camp already sold out with over 125 attending, four recent church planting initiatives, ongoing trustee services, a residential women’s conference for 110 people with a waiting list, and publishing work with four new books including a new series on church polity.
"We were then challenged to embrace social media to advance the gospel and carefully use AI search technologies to improve administration. Rather than shy away from new technologies we should exploit them but with deep integrity by developing robust and transparent policies and standards, we were told."
