Harbour is the name given to our Local Mission team and is the core of all of our community facing projects and ministries. The team consists of staff and volunteers who meet regularly to pray, plan and look at practically outworking what we believe is God’s best for our community. Our Harbour team is the main hub and there are a group of ministries that all belong under the
​Harbour umbrella as detailed below.

Why the name?

The name came from a conversation between a couple of our team members and Pastor Danny. Initially it was thrown away because Bedworth is so far away from the coast it felt crazy to call our local mission team ‘Harbour’! However, as time went on there was a real sense that the name captured the true heart of our local mission team and projects. When we thought about what is found at a harbour we began to see so many great comparisons:

Lighthouse

Piers & High Walls

A Bay to Moor

Help on the Shore

Fishermen

A place for guidance when things get dark and we need to be shown a clear direction

For immediate protection from danger and the high waves - the initial response to a crisis or storm of life’

A place to feel secure and comfortable as we stop and take stock. It’s not a place of permanent residence but it’s a space where we can prepare yourself well for the next journey

To visit or be helped by those who can repair, re-energise and restore - grab fresh supplies for the next chapter and hold our heads high knowing there are people ready and willing to help

We are called to be fishers of men by being the hands and feet of Jesus. Ultimately our aim is to see people come to know Jesus and see Him save souls and lives through the work that we do.

The People.

All of our different projects could not run without the incredible volunteers and helpers that come along to practically and spiritually lend a hand. Whether it’s packing food parcels, folding clothes or making the teas and coffees, everyone gives their all to the ministries and it is so beautiful to see people work together in unity for the kingdom. Over the past year it’s been tough to gather together due to lockdown and restrictions, yet we have seen a growth in hunger and willingness to serve and that says so much about the heart of our local community and church family.
