21st Century Church

The role of the church will never change! A body of people, called out by God to be salt and light in the world and to proclaim Kingdom Truth until Jesus comes again!

BUT the environment is which the Church lives and functions has been changing every century for the last 2000 years. And the changes are now taking place so fast it is hard for people to keep up with the continuous challenges of equipping the church for the generation in which we live.

That is why we need a school like this. To enable God’s people to be dynamic and relevant for the world we are living in NOW and not just for what the world used to be like!

Our three teachers, Peter Horrobin, Alistair Petrie and Michael Puffett are all forefront leaders in their own fields, who are deeply concerned that the Church should be real and relevant to the people of our day. They will challenge and encourage you in how to be the Church in today’s world

This is one of the most exciting and important schools that Ellel has ever sponsored and we urge all those who are concerned that the Body of Christ should be equipped in our generation to do the Kingdom Works of Jesus to come to Blairmore from 28th June – 5th July 2008.
