Our Mission is to spread the News

We understand the Mission that God has given us is to witness to Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) both locally, nationally and internationally.

The purpose of this witness is to make disciples of all nations, baptising them and teaching them to obey everything that Christ has commanded (Matthew 29:19-20).

As a church, Harefield is involved in local, national and international mission – that is, we seek to be Christ’s witnesses and make disciples, both in Harlow and overseas.  We do not wish to emphasise local mission at the expense of world mission, or to emphasise international mission at the expense of what God is doing in our nation.

It is our policy to be outward looking

It is our policy to be outward looking – to be constantly concerned that the gospel is reaching people that need Christ.

In keeping with the Great Commission, we are concerned that new believers are established in their faith and incorporated in a local church.

It is the aim of Harefield Church to be proactive in mission.

By this we mean that the leadership and the church will constantly review needy areas in Harlow, nationally and overseas with a view to sending and supporting individuals / missionary teams to assist and plant churches in those areas.

The Church should be a prayerful people, seeking the direction of the Holy Spirit in mission.

The leaders, the church and our world family need to know God’s leading when it comes to the time to send missionaries to the field.  A sense of loving accountability is encouraged through the missionaries giving regular reports to the church of what God is doing in and through them.

Harefield currently supports people financially and in prayer in the UK, Europe, South America and Africa.
