'Engage'   -  Local Mission Team

The Engage or Local Mission Team  works alongside PBC's MIST and National Mission Teams, helps to enable PBC to become involved in mission locally around Poynton.

At one of the Elders ’ Away Days, as we prayerfully considered vision and how PBC would look in the future, the word ‘Engage’ was written alongside a group that would head up local mission.  The word ‘Engage’ seemed to capture something of what God wants us to be.  Will we be people who ‘engage’ with others – who choose to ‘walk across the room’?  Will we be an ‘engaging church’, one that attracts because our lives, our attitudes, our love, through word and action, show others Jesus?

Engage is the final team to be set up to cover different aspects of mission within PBC.  It will be focusing on local mission and in the coming weeks a core team will meet together, asking God to show us His heart for local mission and to begin putting together a strategy for the coming months and years.  It is the beginning of a journey – one that is on God’s heart and one that must be on ours.

The New Year sees the start of Hope08 – a year when churches throughout the country will join together with one common aim - to share the love of Jesus with their local communities and ultimately throughout this nation.

Local partnerships

We have had discussions with the local police, councillors and teachers to get to grips with the needs of Poynton. We continue to pray and seek God's way forward.

The Action Unit has been running since 1975 and we continue to work towards helping others through a practical ministry. A lot has been accomplished through this small group, consisting of members from the Baptist Churches in our area, namely, Bramhall, Stockport, Hazel Grove, Chelwood, Grove Lane and PBC in our acting for Christ through the involvement in other’s needs.
