St Matts Weekly Message

Beginning a mini series responding to our vision to be the 'Church on the Hill with a Heart for the City,' Steve Morgan invites us to Lean In. Each one of us is invited to take our place in the body of Christ and commit to serving each other and our city as part of the church.

In this talk Sophie explores the third and final of our three pillars as a church: Extend His Kingdom. Jesus changes lives. And changed lives change the world around them. We're here for Plymouth - partnering with God and others to serve our city, plant new churches and bring hope to Plymouth, Devon and beyond.

In this talk Sophie explores the second of our three pillars as a church: Empower His People. We are a community shaped by God's love and formed into His family. Our heart is to offer a genuine welcome where everyone can find a home, grow in faith, and be equipped to make a difference everyday.

In this talk Sophie explores the first of our three pillars as a church: Encounter Jesus. We believe being with Jesus changes everything so we prioritise creating space to seek his presence through unhurried worship, prayer and His word. We come with expectant hearts, making room for the Holy Spirit to move as we encounter God and are changed by His presence.
