Rugby Churches Forum

We welcome the move of God in Rugby known as ‘Revive’ which has been demonstrated in:

• Growing trust and developing relationships between church leaders of the borough.
• Renewed vision for the Church’s mission in the area.
• The emergence of new projects e.g. R-Hop, Hope4 and Refresh.
• The commitment of churches to work together for the cause of the Kingdom.

We adopt the mission statement of Revive as follows (which was agreed by church leaders of the borough of Rugby in November 2004) for our own work in Rugby town centre.

To know Christ and to make him known through empowering individual Christians and churches

• Encourage each Christian to develop the heart and mind of a disciple.
• Encourage the community of God’s people in the Rugby area to work together to fulfil the Great Commission.
• Encourage each church to reach out appropriately and effectively to the wider community, reflecting their own character.

Revive has called on churches to work together at three levels:

1. Locally in groups of 2 or 3.
2. In districts.
3. On a borough wide basis.

The Rugby Churches Forum seeks to promote the mission of the Church at the second level, through working in partnership with Revive and building relationships with churches in Rugby, discerning together God’s will for our shared mission in Rugby.
