Across Gloucestershire

Making Christ known

We invite people to hear the gospel through open-air witness and local evangelism, and seek to encourage residents through care home visits.

Open-air witness

Conversation and the gospel

We engage the public in conversation and proclaim the saving message of Christ crucified.

Local evangelism

Literature and local visits

We distribute Christian literature and make local visits to share the gospel and warmly invite people to our meetings.
