About Brethren in Christ Church in the UK

Our Mission

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Mathew 28:18-20

We intend to be a Church for All; the Gospel to All; Missions from All and to All; Christ Is All and In All, Equipping & Empowering All for the works of Ministry.

The believers our base unit, who form strong families; become members of strong and vibrant community fellowships; responsible citizens and building blocks to stronger influence of nations for Christ.

Join us as we proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ with renewed mandate to each generation.

Yours in Christ,

Reverend Bonnet Moyo
