About Us
A Church Plant near Reading, UK
The Greenhouse Church started as a group of families gathering in a home in Hurst. Almost immediately, a core group of teenagers emerged and we decided to focus on discipling the next generation.
We are a non-denominational, Bible-based and Spirit-led local church.
We believe in authentic, multi-generational, relational gospel community.
We believe in radical devotion, worship and discipleship.
We hold to the Evangelical Alliance Statement of Faith
We believe that Jesus Christ entered humanity, born to a virgin; that He suffered and died for the forgiveness of the world's sin; that He rose again, ascended into heaven and now through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, He is building His church until He comes again.
We, as sons and daughters of the Living God, have a role to play in this mission in our nation, the nations of the world and for the sake of future generations.
​​​​​​
Vision
To cultivate a Christ-centred community where individuals can develop an authentic, personal relationship with God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We exist to see people transformed by this relationship, leading to significant spiritual growth and a positive impact on their families, their workplaces and on the wider community. We are committed to being an outward-focused community that exists for the benefit of those not yet part of our church family.
​​​​​​
Values
Not merely aspirational, these values are actively lived out:
-
We are disciples of Christ and a Christ-centred community
-
We are submitted to the Word, saturated in prayer and Spirit led
-
We choose authenticity and vulnerability
-
We choose generosity and hospitality
-
We choose courageous, servant-hearted leadership
-
We choose missional living
