We're planting a church on Eastmoor!

​​

Why another church? Because the Bible has good news for everyone and we want to make sure those who live over on the east side of the city get chance to hear all about it too. We love Lupset but we also love Wakefield as a whole and want to make sure every place in Wakefield has a loving local church ready to share the truth and hope Jesus brings.

​​

What does 'planting a church' mean? When Christians begin new churches, they often say they're 'planting' a church. That's because the process is a bit like planting in the gardening sense. It starts small and careful and it takes a lot of love, effort and time to grow a church. More importantly, like plants, it takes God's power and care to grow a church too.

​

Usually (and in our case), church planting involves setting aside a small group of church members to start the new church. Eleven members of GCW have committed to the Eastmoor church plant.

​

Where is the church based? The Eastmoor church plant meets at the heart of the Eastmoor Estate in a building that was given to us by what used to be Wakefield Evangelical Free Church. You can find our address at the bottom of this page.
