Hither Green Baptist Church
Welcome to the website of Hither Green Baptist Church (HGBC). We are an evangelical and charismatic body of Christian believers meeting in Lewisham, South East London. This website will tell you about who we are, what we do and what we believe. If you live in the area, don't just read about us - why not come and visit one day? You can find out what is on, how to find us, how to contact us and more.
Consecrate Yourselves....
The church motto text for 2008 is taken from Joshua 3:5:
Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.
We are looking forward to 2008. Working with our new pastor, Honesty Kachidza, we have already begun to prepare ourselves for the way forward but, as we enter the New Year, we are setting aside time to ensure we do that full justice. We do not know exactly what lies ahead but we trust that God has amazing things for us and are excited to continue our journey forward with this as our motto.
Honesty will be unpacking more of what it will mean in sermons over the coming Sundays and the leaders will be taking some time away later in the month to work on this together. However, the whole church is encouraged to join in this listening and "consecration". What we hope for is that the sense of direction and purpose will not hang on a single thread but be confirmed by many strands of agreement.
ps. Thank you to everyone who came to our watchnight service last night, which was a positive and inspiring way to see the New Year in.
