Mark Davies is an Elder at one of Church Growth Trust’s properties, Highgate International Church (HIC) London, and the Regional Training Director for GLO, one of CGT’s partners on this project. He has first-hand experience of how the project works. “We have been focusing on arresting the decline, stabilising the church, looking for some key giftings and regrowing a central core of committed workers.
“HIC has always been about building relationships and seeing people come to faith in Christ” Mark explains. “For us, it is not so much about starting new things, as building a team for the future, futureproofing our church against what was a dwindling and ageing congregation. Without the clarity that a health check brings, the mentoring and, in HIC’s case, the hands-on support from the project, our future would not be looking so positive.”
