We invite you to share our vision .
Kensington Temple subscribes to the Foundation Truths of the Elim Pentecostal Churches UK , these can be found in full on our website . Go to kt . org and click the link “ What we believe ”.
Kensington Temple is part of the Elim Pentecostal movement which was founded by George Jeffreys 100 years ago in 1915 . We are an international church welcoming people of all races and nations .
We are growing a network of churches , cell groups , fellowships and ministries serving Jesus across Greater London and reaching out to the nations of the world .
We are confident that the gospel of Christ is the only hope for a world suffering without Christ .
We are followers of Christ who want to grow as individuals and in community to become like him .
We raise disciples of Christ who demonstrate his love in their home , community , workplace or place of study .
We are a cell-based church which prepares you for ministry in the market place .
We see every Christian as a servant of God and minister of Jesus Christ .
We understand that believing and belonging go hand in hand – we believe in order to belong and we belong in order to believe .
LONDON AND THE WORLD FOR CHRIST
We believe that God has a plan and purpose for every member of his body , the Church . In January 2017 Senior Minister Colin Dye laid out the vision that we have for Kensington Temple London City Church for the next four years . This 20:20 Vision is made up of three strategic elements :
• Spiritual maturity (‘ Mature ’)
• Church growth (‘ Multiply ’)
• Influence in the world (‘ Mobilise ’)
Key to fulfilling the 20:20 Vision are the aspirations that we have for every KTLCC member , these are expressed as a series of gaols , each beginning ‘ We see you …’
MATURE Whether a new believer or a seasoned Christian leader , maturing in the Kingdom of God is the highest concern of the hour .
In our 20:20 Vision , we see you :
• Developing the incredible potential that God has placed inside you and releasing it for the good of his Kingdom .
• Encouraged , taught and trained to become an effective disciple of Christ in London .
• In a strong nurturing community with other KTLCC people joining together to see each other succeed and progress in life .
• Serving and helping others to fulfil their God potential too !
MULTIPLY Jesus died for all the people in London whatever their race , religion or background . Winning new souls and helping them find their new special place in our congregations and cell groups is of eternal significance .
In our 20:20 Vision , we see you :
• Equipped and encouraged to share your faith with others
• Able to give increasingly confident answers to those who ask about the hope you have in Jesus ( 1 Peter 3:15-16 )
• Touching the lives of those around you through powerful Christian love
• With a heart for the lost and a powerful prayer life that will help shake the foundations of our city for God !
MOBILISE Jesus told his church to be salt and light in the world . That is , to penetrate society with the healthy influence of our salt-like presence , and to illuminate society ’ s thinking with the light of gospel values .
In our 20:20 vision we want to further equip , mobilise and encourage you to ‘ take the giants ’ for God . The giants of our society are the great institutions and professions which exercise the most influence over our lives .
In our 20:20 Vision , we see you :
• Increasingly equipped and successful as a Christian in your chosen career or place in wider society .
• Encouraged and in powerful partnership with other Christians involved in the same areas that you are .
• As ever more effective as a ‘ saltand-light ’ witness to Christ in the wider ‘ market place ’.
• Transforming everything and everyone around you .
